Early on a recent weekend morning, I just happened to glance out the window of our lower deck and found this little guy (or gal) sleeping on one of our chairs. I’ve heard from neighbors that a family of foxes live down near the creek at the bottom of our property but had never seen them myself (though I had heard them, that’s another story). I was right up to the glass of the window and was happily clicking away with the camera.  The fox did not seem to notice, being engaged in a deep sleep. After 10 or more minutes, he woke up and glanced around, and in doing so, noticed me at the window. He warily made his way right up to the window, and for about 15 seconds we looked at each other almost nose to nose before he decided he had better things to do, and loped off.
