On the morning I took this photo, I woke up while it was dark and cold and absolutely no sun was in the morning forecast. I had a headache and I hadn't slept well. This was one of those mornings that I was tempted to go back to bed, but I didn't. I got up, went out, and for most of the 2 hours I hauled around my heavy gear, I got nothing.
But - right as I was headed back home for my first meeting, this guy made an appearance. I don't come across many coyotes in this area, and when I do, they are gone in a flash so I was very fortunate that he stopped and posed for me a bit. I think this handsome devil must have known I was having a challenging morning and thought, "I guess I'll throw her a bone!"
