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).

Wonderful. He trusted you, lucky you.
A.M. Ruttle replied
Nice you picked up on that trust; as long as I moved slowly and didn’t get much closer, he would relax. Thanks for “seeing into” the image.

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.
Mariann Rea
Thanks for your kind words! :)
