City Wildlife Photography - A Fox in the Garden

Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) photographed in the city of St. Louis

Recently I've been traveling to the Missouri Botanical Garden about once a week. I make the trip because the spring flowers are spectacular; prefect for healthcare images. I've never considered going in to photograph wildlife; after all, the garden is right in the middle of St. Louis.

However, this morning at 7 AM I caught a glimpse of a Red Fox on the grounds of the garden and was able to get this photograph.

Apparently foxes are becoming increasingly common in big cities, especially London. National Geographic recently had an article titled "10,000 Foxes Roam London"
