Marlborough Hunt Club (Md.) Huntsman Jim Faber below a fleeting rainbow at Dr. Leo Courtney’s Windswept Farm a farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. A mist rose from the water into the cut corn field as a rainbow formed over the field. Whipper-in Valerie Levin captured this shot just as all the rest of the mist disappeared and the skies became clear blue!
Snack attack! Three Misty Morning hounds followed their noses to a surprise snack atop a fence post before setting off to hunt from Perry Plantation, just outside Gainesville, Fl.
Four years ago, Cathy Summers pulled her Jack Russell Terriers out of a hole under a shed in her Falls Church, Va. backyard, in what was at one point Fairfax Hunt country. Several weeks later, she first spied the vixen in entering her den under the shed. After sequestering the terriers at the family farm outside Charlottesville, Cathy was able to start taking photos of the vixen and her young. She has followed the same pattern every spring since, and has let her backyard “go wild” to provide a better home for the foxes.

Mooreland (AL) Huntsman Rhodri Jones-Evans collects the hounds after a great run that took the pack out of their country to the east, over the treacherous creek and into Full Cry country. It was a mad dash via creek and road to get people over there and get the hounds stopped off a coyote determined to run and run. After that picture was taken, the trailers started arriving from the Mooreland meet site so everyone could box up and head back to the tailgate no few miles away.
