Intense Stare

Often while traveling I’m at a different place every day. But staying in the same spot for several days in a row near Yellowknife allowed me to get to know the local wildlife. There was the raven that flew overhead at the same time each morning, the squirrel loudly gathering nuts, and the grouse that always startled at a bend in the trail. But my favorite was the family of foxes. Beside a highway pullout on the edge of Canada's coldest city lived a mother and 3 kits. The mother eyed me closely with an intense stare while the young ones played carefree. Each kit had a different fur color: one red, one black and red, and the rarest of all, silver. The fur trade has a long history in the far north, and fox pelts were some of the most valuable.
