1912_1757 Four Coyotes
You may have to look at this full size to see them. And I have a confession to make: I didn't see them when I made this shot. It was early morning, I was looking at a vast landscape with its bands of light and shadow and drifting fog. On my right, the sun was just above the horizon, and my eyes were tearing from the glare and the cold (excuses! excuses!). So... I missed these four coyotes as they came over that ridge and proceeded along its length, on the hunt, or perhaps returning to their den site after a late night/early morning hunt. That led to a happy surprise when I opened the RAW file for processing.
They were pretty far away, perhaps not aware of me, either. Regardless, they add an extra wild element to this photo, for which I am grateful. Now I can't imagine this image without them!
