Silver Fox in Snow

A.M. Ruttle

Silver Fox in Snow

Snow drifting quietly down, not a sound other than snowflakes softly landing, this beautiful fox letting me share it with him. Deep winter in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Canon 40D, Canon 100-400 IS Lens, f5, 1/400, focal length 220mm (that’s close for those who don’t use telephotos).

    Stunning fox!!!

  • A.M. Ruttle replied

    Hi Mariann, Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my wildlife photos; you and I share a deep love of wildlife photography! I really enjoyed reading your fox story on your blog. That moment when a wild creature is more curious than afraid is truly magic!! p.s. I’m taking an online course in microstock photography (through PPSOP.com) right now, and had fun looking through your stock images too.

    Jaw dropping. I love how it rendered almost monochromatically lending an atmosphere of solitude and serenity.
