Red Fox

“I live my life in widening circles

that reach across the world.

I may not complete this last one

but I give myself to it.

I circle around God, around the primordial tower.

I’ve been circling for thousands of years

and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,

a storm, or a great song?

~Rainer Maria Rilke

This melanistic red Fox is a stunning creature.

Rare Black Vixen peers out of the shadows
