And maybe remind everyone that if I haven’t liked their post by Tuesday morning then they should tag me in a comment next week. I sometimes get a feeling I’m missing seeing lots of stuff. It’s only recently I’ve really been noticing the problem!

I had to go to Geraldine’s page to see that she wasn’t in a good internet area and wouldn’t be able to share her choices until the end of the week. And the previous week the top 4 and winner didn’t show up on the search. I do always like every entry that I see when judging!

Very grateful to Geraldine for choosing Red the vixen as her winner for this week’s #ShareMondays2025 🙏🏻 And for seeing the story of an inquisitive and agile #fox 🦊 I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s entries next Monday 😁 Have a great weekend all!

Thanks for your patience with #ShareMondays2025 I've just spent the morning at the dentist, but I'm back now! Final 4 chosen from a superb array of images. @lcflandscapedrone.bsky.social

I love this drone shot for the colours and patterns. I would never have recognised it as a park local to me!

Mist and sheep, what a dreamy combination - and main subject placed on a left hand third - great composition!

We all know Sarah's fabulous images of 'her' foxes in Bushy Park, but this one is exceptional in capturing the fox balancing on his hind legs - what is he looking at? Thanks for sharing this with us!

Stunning image of a night scene at the barbers. It's like Edward Hopper meets Jack Vettriano, excellent and so well seen!

Oh Geraldine, thank you so much 🙏🏻 That’s made my day 😊 I’m so grateful to this community for supporting my fox behavioural images 🦊🥰 I’m very blessed to be able to study them but it’s also a big commitment! One that’s been very worthwhile 😁

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 2d

I hope you’re ok after dentist!! What a week you’ve had! Thanks so much hun 🙏🏻 And I really love your feedback on all our images in Alt text 😁

Oh of course you’re forgiven!! I think we’ve all had times when we’ve just not got the kind of connection to the internet we’d like. It happens to me if I go into my nearest town where there’s 5G that no one seems to be able to use 😂🤦‍♀️

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 3d

Glad you’re ok at least! I was wondering if you’d fallen foul of one of the nasty bugs that are circulating.

I first came across the word as a title to a beautiful piece of art by sci-fi and fantasy illustrator Rodney Matthews and realised it was a Spanish word. I was doing Spanish A level at the time. When I found out it’s meaning I just fell in love with the word 😊

That turned into the most hilarious visual in my brain 😂😂🤣🤣 It was a bit Mr Bean if you get what I mean 🤭

Lol 🤭 A fox would probably eat them though I’ve never managed to spot one in the vineyards around here. After a squirrel I believe! Whatever it was had gotten away before she got up there 😉

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 5d

It’s really lovely!! The compression or distortion to the reflection from the water makes that vibrancy really pop 😁

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 5d

Couldn’t resist 😂

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 5d

Absolutely my pleasure 😁 Looks like a lovely morning to be out!

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 5d

Absolutely my pleasure 😁 Sometimes the most beautiful moments come when “bad” weather is passing through!

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 5d

Cheers Scott 🙏🏻 It was really nice getting to spend quite a long time wandering around the territory with her the other day 😁

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 5d

My pleasure 😁 They’re usually quite un-obliging 😂 Very fast and flighty!!!

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 5d

My pleasure 😁 Ah, the wonderfully changeable weather at this time of year!!

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 5d

Absolutely my pleasure 😁

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 5d

Oh I most certainly will if I find some time!!!

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 5d

They’re car batteries 😂🤭

Cheers Paula 🙏🏻 I did get her in the tree, but actually really loved seeing her all stretched out as she was about to leap up 😊

Sarah Longes @sarahlonges.bsky.social · 5d

Absolutely my pleasure 😁
