Renewed Opportunity (Limited Edition)

Buckhorn, Ontario, Canada.

A little back story on my foxy friend here. In the Spring of 2020 this little fella was on the verge of death. He contracted a common disease in foxes called sarcoptic mange. It can however be treated & that is just what my close friend Melissa did. She contacted a local vet & took the necessary steps to help nurse this wild fox back from the brink of death. I’ve known Melissa since I was in single digits, I’ve been cottaging at Buckhorn Lake since I was 4. She has a compassionate soul for wildlife & the environment & has continued to inspire me & support me in my career as a shooter. This image taken in July is basically on Melissa’s front ‘lawn’ (she literally lives in a forest). Foxy & his family are often seen in & around her property & they are a very curious bunch. On this particular evening he sat staring at me in this position & this was the first of 3 gaping yawns before he hopped to all fours & trotted towards me & my camera.  Foxes have been somewhat of a challenge for me, I haven’t had much success in the past. However, this is a portrait I’m particularly proud to show off. Captured in the place on the planet that means the most to me & for the fact he was cared for & virtually Saved from the brink of death by a good friend who has a compassionate soul for Mother Nature. Thank you for making this moment possible Melissa.
