Unplanned Moments

The highlight of my time spent out in nature comes with the sudden and unplanned appearance of wildlife that I hadn’t expected to see. In nature, you never know what you’re going to catch a glimpse of from one moment to the next.

The Wily Coyote

Though I sometimes hear distant group howls late at night — a sound that makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck and sparks instant fear in the eyes of the family dogs — it is rare that I see one out in the open during the daytime.  This coyote crossed the road in front of our car and quickly made its way to the back of an open farm field.
