Feeling a little down I decided to walk to the post box for some fresh air. To my pleasant surprise, I received a thoughtful package from Spain!
This little gift of kindness lifted my spirits and reminded me of the lovely friendships we have here on Flickr.
I'm a little slow right now but will catch up over time ;D
peeked out through the grasses to check us out as we traveled down the ALCAN. This was somewhere in the Yukon also.

We've seen an abundance of wildlife at Yellowstone. On one of our first days we saw this female coyote being chased by a deer in an odd reversal of roles. Maybe the deer had young to protect. The coyote was a slight thing, so small I thought it was a fox at first. She followed us around a bit, looking at us like, "I wonder if I could take them down". But a stomp or "whoop" made her scurry away.

Aesop's Fable - The Hare With Many Friends
A Hare was very popular with the other animals in the jungle who all claimed to be her friends. One day she heard the hounds approaching her and hoped to escape them by the aid of her Friends. So, she went to the horse, and asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his back. But he declined, stating that he had important work to do for his master. "He felt sure," he said, "that all her other friends would come to her assistance." She then applied to the bull, and hoped that he would repel the hounds with his horns. The bull replied: "I am very sorry, but I have an appointment with a lady; but I feel sure that our friend the goat will do what you want." The goat, however, feared that his back might do her some harm if he took her upon it. The ram, he felt sure, was the proper friend to ask for help. So she went to the ram and told him the case. The ram replied: "Another time, my dear friend. I do not like to interfere on the present occasion, as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares." The Hare then applied, as a last hope, to the calf, who regretted that he was unable to help her, as he did not like to take the responsibility upon himself, as so many older persons than himself had declined the task. By this time the hounds were quite near, and the Hare took to her heels and luckily escaped.
Moral of the story :
He that has many friends, has no friends.
Here I just caught the attention of a coyote peeking across the road to see if it was okay for him to cross.
The Vega was a six-passenger monoplane built by the Lockheed company starting in 1927. It became famous for its use by a number of record breaking pilots who were attracted to the rugged and very long-ranged design. Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly the Atlantic single handed in one, and Wiley Post flew his around the world twice.
Designed by John Knudsen Northrop and Gerrard Vultee, both of whom would later form their own companies, the plane was originally intended to serve with Lockheed's own airline routes. They set out to build a four-seat aircraft that was not only rugged, but the fastest aircraft as well. Utilizing the latest designs in monocoque fuselages, cantilever wings and the best engine available, the Vega delivered on the promise of speed.
The fuselage was monocoque, built from sheets of plywood, skinned over wooden ribs. Using a large concrete mold, a single half of the fuselage shell was laminated in sections with glue and then a rubber bladder was lowered into the mold and inflated with air to compress the lamination into shape. Two fuselage halves were then nailed and glued over a previously made rib framework. With the fuselage constructed in this fashion, the wing spar had to be kept clear, so they decided to make a single spar cantilever mounted on the very top of the aircraft. The only part of the aircraft that wasn't particularly streamlined was the landing gear although production versions wore sleek "spats". For power they chose the Wright Whirlwind, which delivered 225 horsepower (168 kW).
The first Vega 1, named the Golden Eagle, flew from Lockheed's Los Angeles plant on 4 July 1927. It could cruise at a then-fast 120 mph (193 km/h), and had a top speed of 135 mph (217 km/h). However. the four-passenger (plus one pilot) load was considered too small for airline use. A number of private owners placed orders for the design however, and by the end of 1928, they had produced 68 of this original design. In the 1928 National Air Races in Cleveland, Vegas won every speed award.
Looking to improve the design, Lockheed delivered the Vega 5 in 1929. Adding the Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp engine of 450 hp (336 kW) improved weights enough to allow two more seats to be added. A new NACA cowling increased cruise speed to 155 mph (249 km/h) and top speed to 165 mph (266 km/h). However, even the new six-seat configuration proved to be too small, and the 5 was purchased primarily for private aviation and executive transport. A total of 64 Vega 5s were built. In 1931, the US Air Corps bought two Vega 5s; one designated C-12 and one as the C-17. The C-17 differed by having an extra set of fuel tanks in the wings.
The Vega could be difficult to land. In her memoir, Elinor Smith wrote that it had "all the glide potential of a boulder falling off a mountain."
Coyote, there are quite a few around here, and they are very timid....probably because they get shot at a lot. Rarely will one be in a position to get a photo of without just getting the hind end. This is the healthiest looking one I think Ive seen.
This beautiful 'Wiley Coyote' was strolling along with it's partner next to the road I was traveling. I stopped got out of the car along with my two birding buddies. One of the coyotes kept it's distance but this one didn't seem to have a care in the world except for where it's nest meal would be.
We're back in our sunny mild temps here in sunny California...:)...wishing you the same, have a wonderful day and thank you for your visit and comments.

Took this shot (in town) with my 24-240mm fully zoomed. The coyote was over 100 meters out. So this is a heavy crop. Still had enough detail that I wanted to share it. The coyote seems to be healthy and looks to be growing a thick coat in anticipation of winter.
is lurking again, ..... on top of sheds and garage roofs.
This is fine until nearby dogs get a whiff of them and all start barking.
There are a few highlights to see when you're driving north on Hwy. 65 out of Conway. First is the inherent silliness of the name of Pickles Gap (I mean, what is the dill with it?). Then there is the dramatic excitement of the runaway truck ramp. After that, as you begin to approach the Leslie metro area, you can see the iconic red barn at Wileys Cove. The barn is scenically situated along a hillside, with a blanket of trees behind it.
