That fox must have really been tired to let you get that close, especially with all those dry leaves around. Nice shots!

Thank you, Allen. Fortunately, I found this vantage at the edge of a raked lawn and didn’t dare venture farther with my crackling footfall. Still I suspect the fox eventually sensed me in some other way.

Really nice photos of a slumbering fox. It’s not easy to approach closely to a wild fox, I know from first-hand experience, so thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Walt, it’s true, I usually spot just the tail end of a fox heading away. What a pleasure to stoop silently awhile once I spotted this one.

Thanks, Cyn! I got a shot of it staring directly at me too, but it’s a little too intense.

Who was more surprised–you or the fox?

Well, I was quite still the whole time, just waiting for the fox to wake. And though eventually discovering me with its gaze, after a while it just casually trotted off. I was wondering what it had made of me.
