Inspiration

I had been hiking a bit looking for this fox. I was about to give up and I turned around to go back and there he was sleeping behind me about 15 feet away.

Editing

Minimal editing

In my camera bag

I normally have my 24 -70 L lens on and when looking for wildlife I now have a 100-400. At this time however I only had my 70-200 f4 canon lens.

Feedback

For wildlife... time and waiting and being aware of their habits and routines.
