Today is my last reminder to order prints so they arrive in time for the Christmas. After Friday, they may or may not arrive before December 25. This pretty fox was photographed in Hayden Valley a few winters ago. It was incredibly windy so the fox bedded down for a while but not before she or he explored a bit in search of food. With the wind howling, the fox chose a ravine where it could curl up out of the wind a bit. Winter is harsh but all wildlife have strategies for surviving it. You can see the raised front paw has a lot of fur growing which not only insulates the foot pads from the cold but help to support the fox as it crosses the snow, acting like mini snowshoes.
