Jan 2nd, 2012
KLM Images has just published a photo essay for the Boxing Day meet of the Old Dominion Hounds at the Kennels in Orlean, VA on 12/26/2011. There were many foxes viewed and the hunt went on for hours, culminating in a lovely hunt breakfast in stages as waves of folks came in while the hardier souls persisted. Among other goodies, Clare served jossop (I had to look it up), a lovely stew of chicken and other savory items.
I had to break off after a long view of a (distant, back-lit) fox running just behind the kennels, with the pack hot on his trail.

Photos: Henchman’s Lea (11/26/2011) and a bonus
Dec 16th, 2011
Just in time for Xmas, KLM Images has published a photo essay on the meet of the Old Dominion Hounds at Henchman’s Lea in Hume, VA on 11/26.
The location offers both marvelous views and splendid hospitality, and a fox came along near the end in full view of the meet. I wonder how our hosts arranged that?
You can find the essay here.
As a bonus, the hunt came through our place (Payne Woods) last Tuesday from the meet at Houyhnhnm. I, alas, was at work, but my husband David snapped a few shots of the hounds putting one of our very own foxes to ground just above the house. You can find that essay fragment here.

Nov 11th, 2011
KLM Images has just published a very brief essay for the Landowners’ Party a few weeks ago. Between the setting sun, crowds around the bar, and moving kids, this is definitely a photographic challenge. Luckily the mountains stand still.
