just before sunset yesterday when i left the parking lot at work, squealing tires and burning rubber. i pulled into the refuge with a full stream of cursing cause the light was fading quick and the front part of the refuge was in full shade. this was my last chance to take photos for the foreseeable future - forecasted rain today and then stuck at work in a dispatch center from monday morning until the election is called wednesday morning (we'll have a presidential candidate in town) or the riots stop (not a political statement, in murdertown, usa they riot for fun).
i was driving the full 25mph max speed into the refuge just past the indefinitely closed visitors center (they better open before my annual pass runs out) and pay station i ran into this gorgeous guy, less than a quarter mile from the entrance to the refuge. talk about luck. and he was beautiful too. most of the foxes in the refuge are scrawny, mangy and look like drowned rats. this guy had a full coat and looked well fed. he stuck around long enough for me to get a few photos. i wasn't sure if any of the shots would come out because of how dark it was getting. it doesn't hold up under close scrutiny, but i think i can get a decent 11x14" print out of it.
