Not very fearful, very inquisitive, and, of course, quite beautiful...

Actually, we stood very still and quiet and the fox approached us, checked us out and then left the scene.

That's cool. I had one at the pack station for a short while that would bark at the bunkhouse door when he was in the mood for some lunch meat or a hot dog. But he always came after dark and I never got a good photo of him.

Saw one just like this in Claremont today on my way to work. Had something in the mouth but ran into the neighbor's bushes before I could get my phone up to take a picture.
