21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
In hiding

I discovered an area where red foxes were denning not far from my neighbourhood and had the pleasure of spending a couple of evenings watching and photographing them. At one point there were four of them. I spent around an hour observing them as they played and chased one another through a small field, until I lost good light with the setting sun. I captured a few images of this one as it sat still for a moment, obscured by some of the long grass.
