A lucky shot of a fox high up in the Swiss Alps - shy but not still hanging around looking for scraps. Very surprised to see such an animal at over 3000 metres high!
Sometimes things just happen
This is straight out of the camera.
We were out early looking for the fox outside the den and she appeared, struck a pose with the name above her head.!

A bronze sculpture by Kehinde Wiley, lit dramatically against a black background. The figure's body curves across the frame, and the light picks out the folds and muscles in the metal. It's a quiet, intense piece.
Pioneer Oklahoma aviator Wiley Post pushed aviation further than almost anyone in his era. From his record‑setting flights in the Winnie Mae to his groundbreaking work on high‑altitude flight, Post lived at the edge of what was possible. In 1931, he flew around the world with Harold Gatty in just over eight days—then did it again solo in 1933, the first person in history to do so.
His experiments with pressure suits and stratospheric flight laid the foundation for modern high‑altitude aviation and even early space research. Standing beside any aircraft today, it’s impossible not to feel the reach of his ambition. Post wasn’t just flying—he was opening the sky for everyone who would follow.
The markings on this plane indicate it was the one Wiley used to fly around the world solo in 1933. The markings on the hangar indicate it was taken at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, which was the starting point for his record-breaking solo flight. The photographer is unknown; most likely a newspaper photo, as this flight was widely publicized. I cleaned and colorized the original B/W photo I found on the web.

While doing a little reading on the coyote I came across a fact that I did not know about this wonderful mammal.....they are very good swimmers! Now that is a photo I would love to see. Please share one if you have one!

A bronze statue of a rider on a horse by Kehinde Wiley, standing in a gallery with deep red walls. A skylight above pours down soft light, and a few visitors gather around the base for a closer look. The dark metal and the rich red background make the piece look monumental.
After several encounters with Greater Roadrunners, it was only fair that we spend some time with the Coyotes of Bosque.
It's cold this week! Well, Florida cold, anyway. We rarely turn the heat on, so I thought Wiley should wear something inside to keep warm. Of course I couldn't pick something reasonable like a sweater. I think he might hate me. :P Plus, it's actually too big. My bobo needs a size XXS, but I didn't like anything in that size.
Oh, and he got his bell replaced last week for Thanksgiving. Had to look sharp. ;)
during his week-long visit he plowed through all four of the City of Ember books, written by my mom's friend Jeanne DuPrau -- he LOVED them
I ordered him a new collar that arrived today. It's pink with cupcakes, and I don't care if that's too girly! Chihuahua head bell was added by me so I can always hear him.

This is Wiley, an old friend from years ago, mostly through my schooling days. We've been in touch after some 30 years (where does that kind of time go!?!) and are making plans to see one another again. What a great feeling, like we've picked up the conversation where we left off.
my sister has shared some photos of my beloved nephew Wiley playing Iago in their local production of Othello — i think this is my favorite. so wish i could be there for a performance!
This is the first coyote I have seen in Stanley Park. He was making his way by the water of Lost lagoon. He was very relaxed and tolerant of the many people that were walking through the paths. I took this shot among others before he crossed over into the area's where people were. He let me stay at a distance of about 30 feet with trees and logs between us. The shot shows him very relaxed.
