A Gray Fox waiting in the bushes, as photographed by Mike Petrich.

This Gray Fox looks like he/she is waiting for someone. Could this fox be watching and waiting for Santa Claus? It's possible!

Thanks to Mike for allowing me to share his photo with you here.

Today was a beautiful, mild day. Visiting family members went on a mushroom hike with me and we found more Matsutakes! What a year for this special mushroom.
