An Arctic Fox stands quietly and patiently in a patch of frost covered grass along the coast of Hudson Bay. Normally, in the winter, they follow polar bears out onto the sea ice gathering up any left over scraps. During the summer and fall, however, they have to fend for themselves. Here, this adult fox, listens carefully for any sounds of a microtine (ie. mouse, vole, lemming) living beneath the snow. #followme on @paulnicklen to see more of my favorite images from this stunning part of the world. #arctic #fox #arcticfox #gratitude #explore #nature #smile #love #beauty #adventure #travel @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #instagood #tbt #follow #followme #photooftheday #happy #tagforlikes #beautiful #like #picoftheday #summer #fun #friends @natgeo by natgeo http://bit.ly/1WpaFUI – Gatlinburg Garden Castle Rainbow Tower Library Imagination Station Temple Water Spirit Guardian Labyrinth Treasury Magic Healing
