A long time ago, leading a nomadic lifestyle, our ancestors respected wild animals and endowed them with noble properties and great powers. But with the development of the peasantry, everything began to change.
The nature around, as well as the animals themselves, began to interfere with man. To interfere with making this world safe and convenient for those times.
Man wanted to live in a controlled world where everything is subject to him and he is the crown of nature, the master over all. Defeat the unknown, conquers the impregnable, achieves what he wants. And our smaller brothers from friends and associates began to turn into a hindrance and a threat.
In Slavic mythology, there are more than 200 fairy tales involving animals. And most often there are mentioned classic forest animals- bear, wolf, hare and fox.
The bear is strong, but lazy and stupid.
The wolf is fast and agile, but greedy and evil.
The hare is quick-witted, quick, but too cowardly.
But the fox has always been the most cunning, clever, dexterous and successful in these fairy tales. She often deceived not only people, but also her fellow animals. And very rarely caught.
And so since childhood, I have always dreamed of meeting this amazing animal. I always knew that there are a lot of foxes in our area. I saw them briefly, or friends showed successful pictures. But luck bypassed me many years. Until a year ago in the middle of summer, I didn't get to meet this beauty.
I apologize to you for such a number of very similar photos, in fact there are more than a hundred of them. She is beautiful in any frame.
Then there will be no words, only images...
