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 didn’t post yesterday as I spent most of the day outside with dogs and fat tire bike and horseback riding, taking advantage of a windless, winter day before the arctic blast of today. Today will be a housecleaning and writing day. But, oh, yesterday…
Writing a poem today was a struggle, which may be evident. Usually I just throw out whatever comes into my head, only feeling the need for slight changes. But this one came out awkward, the cadence and message lost. I’m blaming this on the dreariness and demands of the day. All the creatures were feeling…

I was outside this morning for shoveling session number three. It was only about 8 degrees, with a real feel of around 2 below, but it seemed gorgeous out. There was no wind and the sun was shining. Quite a difference from yesterday. Plus, a funny thing happens to people who live somewhere that the…
We went from bare grass to a coating of white in a blink of an eye. Okay, so it took all night, but I was sleeping so that’s kind of like a blink. I’m supposed to be in Sioux Falls, South Dakota for work right now, but snow and rain got in the way. The…

Yikes! Coyotes scare me! We have them around, but have never seen one, I can only hear them. They were awfully close a couple months ago. Java needs to stay away from them! I have heard that coyotes are good at luring dogs out, so they can attack them. Freaks me out.
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.
