It must have been a good dream, it looks as though this fox is smiling as it wakes up from a nap.
It is amazing that a fox can sleep comfortably in temperatures well below freezing.It's common to see a fox sound asleep on top of the snow, especially on sunny spring days.
Chances are, there is a den nearby and this fox's mate was attending the kits.
Looking for Help
Mom and three kits were caught on camera almost every night in our backyard. Mom and one of her kits stopped showing up. Concerned for the two little ones left behind (and visible on camera) I called the Fish and Wildlife Dept. When I told them mom and one kit had been gone for two weeks, I was told mom was probably NOT coming back, that she was either dead or trapped. After speaking to them we decided to let nature take it's course. Eventually, they would leave on their own.
Well, I am really relieved to say after over 3 weeks mom and the other kit are back with the two left behind. The three little ones were rolling around in the yard as if they were happy to see each other...and all four walking the fence line with mom in the lead! (Now I can sleep better!)
I appreciate your visit and so grateful for your comments/faves!
Stay safe and healthy!!

This Kit and several other Kits had been hanging out in a dirt pile in my back yard and this part was cool, I got to take photos of them while I was sitting in the house!

Thanks for your views, comments and Faves of this image! I greatly appreciate them!!
Sitting and watching the photographer, a fox kit enjoys a warm summer day. This kit was probably born in April, so it is about 3 months old. Summer is short and in another month, this kit will be full grown and out hunting on its own.
I always thought children grew up to fast, and we have them in our care for between 15 and 20 years. A fox kit is born and on its own in less than 4 months.
On an undulating boardwalk in Norfolk. This is not the sharpest image and is heavily cropped, but it was fantastic to watch.
There were four fox kits playing outside the den...these two were too tired to continue...Kawartha Lakes, Ontario, Canada
I grabbed the camera just as this little guy started looking over at my apartment. Pictured through a fly screen window, I think I got its undivided attention.
He / she is such a cute little kitten. Pity about the fly screen, but what can you do.
Doc and I stood watching a busy beaver prepare for winter, as he swam between his lodge and the trees that lined his pond. In this photo you can see his wake in the water, and his head between the trees on the left.
I thought that this delightful poem by Del Ray told the story of beaver life in Alaska perfectly . . .
There’s a trail no one walks in the forest
that’s lined with a quilt of leaves,
webbed feet of the largest rodent*
scamper as fallen trees grieve.
Trees wilt with the sound of gnawing,
as wolves in the distance, howl,
and moose clamber over rocks fallen,
while wildcats stalk prey as they growl.
The beavers are content with their chewing,
they gather and chew chew chew,
not like old steam engines of trains
that chug through the valleys of dew.
They chew through the aspen and birch,
those beavers take down the sweet maple;
they gather the twigs and the branches,
that’s fodder on their muddy table.
And quietly in their spiky lodge,
their kits, as cute as they are,
they plan their dam of destruction
under the shiny north star,
reminding the race of humans,
we’re not the only ones chopping down trees,
they weren’t just meant to be hats,
like us they have families and needs.
So beavers keep growing and gnawing
through the winter as snowflakes fall,
yet seeds of change will soon sprout
in the spring, when song birds call.
