A young female in a wildflower meadow, photographed a couple of weeks ago in Iceland. This is a 'blue' morph and does not change its colour much, unlike the more common white variety.

I spent a good few days recording her daily life and we got to know each other quite well. This was the portrait I wanted to capture when I first arrived as the blossom was spectacular. Initially she kept her distance but eventually she was comfortable enough and at times came very close. This is full-frame at 370mm with the Nikon 200-500mm.
Regards,

Des

Arctic foxes have such funny little faces compared to the reds,but this is a sweet close up Des, and the flowers add a nice touch!
