Once upon a time, we were traveling along in our car when we spotted a wild fox along the road. Stop! I cried to my husband. I got out of the car, with my camera, of course. believe it or not, the fox actually posed for me! I was able to get several shots as he gave me his portrait pose, then a side view, etc. the fox was as curious about me as I was about him.

    Voted, Very well done, you are so lucky. My mountain man name is Swiftfox and I have only once caught a fox on camera and he was making track for all he was worth. This is a magnificent photo.

    This is such an inspirational shot for me because it's about those chance meetings that cannot be planned they may only occur once in a lifetime but these moments for me make life seem magical if only for a few seconds, this is one of my favourite pictures, foxes are beautiful intelligent creatures and this is a beautiful photograph.
