Coyote Stalking
I tried to get photos of a coyote in our pasture using my telephoto but even with the tele, I couldn’t get enough zoom.

I’m not sure what Java got in to, but the other night her lips swelled up huge! She was not a happy girl. I was thinking it must have been some kind of bug bite or sting, although I thought bugs were dead or hibernating by now. Java was scratching her face and ears so…
It was one of those weekends where everything I wrote sounded like drivel. So I’m doing the wise thing and going pictorial…
I’ve been obsessively writing for a few weeks. I’ve entered a secret world of words that I can get lost in for hours. Picture some kind of matrix scene where probes are attached to my head and I’m twitching and people are shaking me and yelling, “Maery! Maery! Wake up!”
It’s beginning to look a lot like fall. Leaves are starting to yellow slightly. Maple leaves are starting to redden. Poison Sumac sure is pretty at this time of year. Leaves cover our usually clear path. Sit break. We’ve been going through a dry period again and the river shows it. However fall like it…
I hate to keep showing the same old river shots and cold, stark photos, but hey, it is what it is this time of year. And the river keeps changing. It looked like it may have come up over the walking path and then receded again. I only know that I couldn’t get this close…
When I let Java out last night, I saw something big jump off our bird feeder. I was thinking that either it was the biggest squirrel I’d ever seen or it wasn’t a squirrel. I ran up the steps to the deck with H’s super-duper bright flashlight and found a raccoon on the deck. This…

If only Sadie had a pool that big! She’d be lovin’ life right now, in this heat we are having! Java is so darn cute, frisbee catching, pool swimming addict!
Actually, that was well close enough for me! Yikes!
Very cute pool vid of Java…what a sweetheart!
Yes, my sister in Arizona taught me how dangerous coyotes can be for dogs. I try to keep Java always close to me, but when she takes off after one, all I can do is keep calling her until she comes back. Well, plus some silly chasing (this last time in my slippers) to wrestle that coyote with my bare hands if I have to.
Hey, a coyote’s got to make a living too y’know. I don’t want one close to me or my pets, but they sure are beautiful highly adaptive creatures and I appreciate them on that level.
