White Christmas?

December 25, 2015 by Mike Powell

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, but it looks like it won’t happen here this year, with a high temperature for today forecast to reach 70 degrees (21 degrees C).

So I decided to reprise a more seasonally appropriate shot from a couple of years ago at Huntley Meadows Park. In early January 2014 I spotted this Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) circling around a beaver pond, not far from where I took my most recent fox shots.

Merry Christmas to all of my friends here who support and encourage me on my journey into photography and best wishes to you and your families as we move toward the start of a new year.

Great shot. Very little to no snow here in MN currently, but that sound like it is going to change soon. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hmmm, did you consider entering this photo in the recent FoHMP Photo Contest? Merry Christmas, Mike!
