The Auburn Fox Of San Juan Island


I sat motionless as the stealth auburn fox crept towards my camera's eye. He was camouflaged by the dry grass and brittle twigs of the fading Autumn brush. His piercing hazel eyes stared at me with contempt as if I had invaded his world.


His thick shiny coat rippled in the breeze as his huge bellowing tail enhanced the size of his body.


In a flash of the white tip at the end of his tail he sped away not out of fear but I knew he had satisfied his curiosity and had better things to do than to study a mere mortal.
