C & C Welcome

These tiny fox are aptly named.  In the open grass lands of Wyoming these fox take off quickly and keep their distance.  This one certainly had its eyes on me.

Corey, Im from Chicago but get out to Wyoming a few times a year and discover something new every time I'm there.  I've seen these fox there before but they usually take off and run so far away that getting a picture is not easy. This guy but on the brakes for a few seconds in relatively close range before racing away. Thank you for your comment.

Such pretty little foxes and very distinctive heads they have. I always enjoy seeing them here in the gallery and this is a lovely alert pose!

How wonderful to witness this fox and have him put the brakes on for just a moment. You captured him absolutely beautifully Emil. The in and out of focus grasses sets it off nicely.

Nice wok Emil,
This species is quite elusive... you did an amazing job catching it with the tail fully extended and in an alert pose.

regards,
bruce
