There were two of them. But they were too fast to get a shot of them together as they scampered down the rocks to the beach.
Winslow Homer did a much better job in his wonderful painting, The Fox Hunt.

In 1992 Morrill Worcester got the idea to donate 5,000 leftover wreaths from his Worcester Wreath Company in Maine to Arlington National Cemetery. He trucked them himself and placed them on the graves. Here’s his story on Fox News.
Morrill’s wonderful idea has grown to be an annual event taken over by the not-for-profit Wreaths Across America, with over 100,000 wreaths placed last year at Arlington and over 400 other State, National and local cemeteries, honoring the sacrifices made by our veterans.
These photos were taken at the National Cemetery in Houston, Texas.
Thousands of volunteers from all over the country lay the wreaths on the graves. Including Cub Scout Troop 1226 from Houston.
Texas has been experiencing a long drought which makes the laying of the green wreaths even more poignant.
Thank you Morrill Worcester! You’re a hero as well.
Merry Christmas to all from Maine!!!
