Red Fox
Captured this fox in Wheat Ridge. Really like photographing wildlife in the fall and winter. Their coats are thicker and they just look healthier, which is ironic because winter is a tough time of year.

Sheesh Dan, that is an outstanding pic of one of my favorite critters. How in the H-E -double hockey sticks do you capture such a WONDERFUL shot. Most of mine are not nearly as as stationary.

Wreaks of "Cover Shot"!

Ken, any fox I see is also on the run or a very long way away. The key is human acclimation - to a point anyway. You don't want them too friendly. Hmmm...probably stepping into a different topic there.

Truly is a great shot Dan!

Dan, this is an outstanding shot. I love the leaves on the ground, the black legs, and the thick coat.
