Came home from work to find my resident red fox napping in the backyard. Grabbed the camera and slipped into my backyard just inside the gate to observe from a distance. A fellow shutterbug joined me, and eventually my wife and daughter did as well. Most of the time was spent observing him napping with the occasional yawn, stretch, and watchful gaze. Things got interesting when he finished off the remains of a meal in the yard, and then really interesting when he came over to within 10ft to check us out. The fox retreated after a few sniffs, and watched us very intently from my deck. Although he often just jumps the fences, we concluded it wanted out of the yard via the open gate we were next to. We backed off to make room and he then trotted right on down the walkway and past us.
