14.5"x13" Watercolor
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.
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.

No receipt in this one but "John S. Nickols, Jan 1967" is written on the inside cover. There are also several pages of hand written notes stuck between the pages.
i tried one roll of 3200-speed film over christmas -- and the exposures were pure guesswork, as my light meter had no setting for 3200! i just don't have a good eye for b&w, i don't think, yet i like the light in this one of wiley reading a book in his favorite perch (dining room window)...
marking his territory and looking up for a 'reachable' apple.....I posted a series a month or so ago showing him jumping up to get an apple which I'd never seen before.
This house in Mineral Wells, TX was built by cattleman Robert Kelsey Wiley in 1905. Turns out there's only been four owners of this house. Stained glass windows are original with the house.
Here is another image of the coyote that we saw. Decided to keep it a distant one with a bit more environment. He didn't stay around long. Just enough time for us to snap a couple of quick shots.
who is a lame aunt and thought the 16th was sunday, not saturday? me, that's who -- and now i'm posting my nephew's portrait TWO days late after his 14th birthday -- but late is better than even later. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WILEY!!!! i love you so much!!!

My favorites:
Yeah so this is what happens when your dog thinks he is a jedi lol. I snapped this picture a while back and was surprised that he stayed in that spot for that long hahaha. I gotta say, owning a puppy is a lot of work and at times he can be a rascal, but how can you not love that face.

Her mother, Wretha Frances (Whittle) Wiley, was white, and inspired her to focus on progressive issues.[7][8] On August 8, 1973, Wiley's 42-year-old father fell overboard while sailing with Wiley and her older brother on his 23‐foot boat on Chesapeake Bay, Maryland.[9][10] On August 12, 1973, his body was found floating in the bay off the shore of Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, after a three-day search.[11][12]

A coyote keeps a close watch on our photographic group from a safe distance. This is a pretty big crop. Taken hand held at 840mm about 500 feet away.
another picture taken by my sister when first dropping India off at college -- such perfect expressions from these two!
this was taken the day before her Navy ROTC physical test -- she was the only woman in her midshipmans' class to pass!
