 A Red Fox (Vulpes Vulpes) in Anchorage, Alaska, USA.

[Feb. 1st, 2020 01:36:22 AM]

This is a young female fox that I have named Gorgeous and I visit her and her family at least once a week. In this photo she was about 100 feet away, the image only has a small 300px crop to tighten up composition. During this encounter she got as close as 10 feet away. For those wondering there is actually 4 feet DoF in this image, so it was easy getting her completely in focus.
