Let sleeping foxes lie

Let sleeping foxes lie
A red fox takes a nap on a pleasant fall day in Colorado. (Tony’s Takes)

Talk about a charmed encounter! With cooler temperatures and the sun getting lower on the horizon, I have been able to go for some photo walks after work again. This week, one of my stops to an area open space was absolutely fantastic.

As I walked along, I saw something red on the other side of a bush. I was pretty sure it was just trash but, just in case, I slowed down and moved quietly. Much to my delight, I found this gorgeous red fox lying down and taking a daytime nap in the warmth of the sun!

It isn’t often you get foxes out in the open, let alone one taking a nap. It did wake up eventually and gave me some nice looks before deciding it didn’t care for the intrusion and moving off. Definitely a cool pic for Fox Friday.
