Guess who is coming to dinner!

I left the top off our compost bin and this gorgeous red fox took that as an invitation to help himself.
He had no problem leaping four feet over the edge of the plywood box and even perching on a support in the corner.
There aren't many things as beautiful in the wild as a red fox, in my opinion, especially in the winter.
There are two of these delicate canines hanging around our house in Nolalu. This is the larger of the two.
They respect our chocolate lab, Sam, enough to run when he barks at them but they never go far. Sam is starting to develop a symbiotic relationship with the foxes. He can't leap over the walls of the box and the foxes often leave a lot of tidbits behind. So Sam only half-heartedly chases them away. The way to a lab's heart is definitely through his stomach.
