Just above the steaming orange and
white travertine steps at Mammoth Hot Springs, a fox detached itself from the
evergreens and pranced across the snow before dropping onto the cleared roadway. Once on the roadway the fox, nose down,
zig-zagged back and forth across the asphalt heading directly toward our car.
Naturally, that brought the car to a
full stop. I jumped outside and began
snapping photographs. The fox approached
to within a dozen feet of me before leaping back onto the snow above the
roadway and vanishing amid the blue shadows of evergreens once more.
