Wow, I hope Tim S is reading this. What a shot! That's exactly the pose he was in (minus the morning light, of course) when I first saw him, but by the time I got my camera out he was preparing to leap off the rock and move past me (I think he heard the zipper of my camera case, despite the wind gusts, because he looked up at me suddenly). He later stopped to look back at me, and also to watch the skiers some more, before going on about his vulpine business.
