We had our first real snow of the season last night, so I was more than ready to head out to my favorite fox location early this morning.. The foxes were a little more subdued today and harder to find (but easier to track). This male was reluctant to leave cover for a cleaner shot, but he still looks great against the snow.

Jay Ryser

I’m primarily a nature photographer, usually wildlife, and I have lots of access to wildlife in Colorado. My main goal is to capture some of the individual personality of each of the animals I photograph – to document not just a fox, for instance, but to show something of that specific fox, something unique about that individual animal.
