21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A brief pause

I spent some time photographing a group of four very energetic and curious foxes one summer evening. I watched them as they swiftly chased one another across a field and playfully rolled around, nipping at the long grass and each other. This one took a pause away from all the rambunctious frolic to sit and observe its surroundings. I focused my attention on it and captured this brief moment of calm in the late evening light.
