Trials and tribulations of coyote photography

 






On one of my photography explorations I was coming back home along the river when I saw a guy sitting on the railing with a perfectly gigantic zoom camera. 

I was jealous.

"Your camera makes mine look positively puny." I said to him.

I'd like to say that he smiled at that so that it makes the world seem a warmer place here in my stories, but I'm pretty sure he didn't react at all. Then he said "There's a coyote down there."

Way down the very steep terrain, on something between a ledge and a bit of broken trail, was a coyote laying down, resting. The view of him was very obscured and the best angle was where the man with the giant camera was, but I don't think there was a clear shot anywhere.

I took one picture anyway, and said something about how I suppose it's not just the camera, but being able to spot things.

He didn't react to that one either.

I hope he got some nice shots of the coyote's retina.

Here's what I got:
















But that's not all ladies and gentlemen and others! Here is a grab bag of some of my other shots from recent days, just to show that I don't only take pictures of ripples and splashes on the surface of creeks and rivers. 

The quality may vary, and so may your preferences.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
