On my way out to photograph yesterday afternoon in Grand Teton National Park, I spotted a Red Fox in the parking lot where I'm camped. I quickly grabbed my camera and got ready to photograph it. The fox was really friendly and kept coming closer to me. When I got up to move back so I could shoot it with my long lens, the fox would move back a bit as I was moving then start approaching me again as soon as I was safely behind the camera. Fortunately, on one of the fox's close approaches, it turned its head so its nose, eye, and ear were almost in the same plane.

This morning, I spotted this elk calf atop a small rise backlit against a distant hill in shadow — bingo.
