This photo might not look like much but it has a lot of emotional value for us. The foxes and I live in a big city with very little greenery. So every year in April we rent a small cottage out in the woods and enjoy the sounds and smells of nature.

One of my favorite pictures from my photo calendars (see my other post). Taken at Ferriter's Cove in Ireland in August 2016, became the August picture for the 2017 calendar.

It all started with a trip to Ireland in 2016 where I thought that simple landscape photos would be too boring so I brought some fox plushies. The photos turned out so cute that I turned them into a calendar as a Christmas gift for friends and family.

Now, years later, I have nine of these calendars and I'm working on a tenth. I've posted them on Mastodon for a while but never found the right community on Lemmy so I guess now you'll have to deal with it here.

The photo in this thread is this year's title. I was packing for a photography job at the local disco and the way the fox sat in the backpack seemed like a good representation of what I'm doing.

And, yes, I made them so that they do squeak!

Plush is Clampy / Clam PeeOui from "itemLabel"

Tiny shoes were sold as a "bird toy" from a large online seller & the hat was made by me!

He doesn't actually have feet/legs. I just thought it was funny.

Plushes are Fertilizer Ouioui & Mistakepy from "itemLabel"

Fertilizeroui has been modified by the addition of wings + folding the ears

This was taken at a traveling exhibit where I got to see items from “The Muppets”, “Sesame Street”, “Labyrinth”, and more!

Body is based heavily off the “Build-a-Bear” pattern, but the head is entirely self-drafted. The noses & eyes were made custom by me, as well.

The faux fur is dead-stock I had been keeping stashed away, and is one of the softest furs I’ve ever had the privilege of using!

“Shannon’s Fabrics” minky solid fabric was used for the pawpads and muzzle.

From the official "Pokemon Center"

Shroompy is from "itemLabel", Cherry Blitz is from "Omega Mart" / "MeowWolf"
