FINALLY-

A cooperative fox! I went into work early this morning and saw this guy in a field I pass every day. Not only was he fairly close to the road, he was right in front of a little parking area. I fumbled with and cursed at my camera bag, which for once was fully closed and latched, sure that he was about to run off any second. Amazingly, he pounced around for about 20 minutes - I only left because I had forgotten to put gloves on and cold no longer feel my fingers.
I am taking this as a good portent for 2014 (the fox, not the frostbite :).
