After undoubtedly being out all night carousing, this beautiful red fox decided to take advantage of the warm, morning sun and get some rest.

Taken last month, I arrived to find it curled up on its favorite log. As I approached from the direction of the sun, it had a hard time seeing me and wasn’t entirely aware of my presence so wasn’t threatened. Clearly though, judging from the one eye it has slightly open, it knew someone was there. I just pulled up a spot nearby and spent some quiet time with it until it got too warm and the fox then retreated into the bushes for some shade.
