Intelligent and Adaptable
Intelligent and Adaptable At first glance, the coyote resembles a small German shepherd dog, yet its color can vary from animal to animal. Shades include black, brown, gray, yellow, rust, and tan.
We were walking in a bird sanctuary out west and this little guy was just minding his own business walking along in the tall grass next to us, appeared to be just looking for something to eat. Just living life.
Always take some time to stop and smell the flowers
Don’t hurry past the things that make life beautiful
Before your life runs down to a few precious hours
Remember to share life with the people you love
There’s always someone special, watching how you live
So with those around you, be sure to share your time
There’s always someone needing what you have to give
You’re sure to be remembered by the love you leave behind. By Chris Embrick
Have a wonderful weekend.

These are great photos! A beautiful animal 😍
Thank you very much 😊
In summer when all my windows are open at night, I hear them singing. Love it!
Me to Emilie, 😊
Really? You hear them there? I don’t recall where you live—the Midwest, right? I never saw or heard coyotes until I moved West.
Yes, I am in Michigan and we have the coyotes and fox.
Great photos !
Thank you Sandra ! 🧡🧡
Good morning Francine and thank you very much. 🙂 have a wonderful day.
That quote fit perfectly Sandra. Sniffing the air or a flower. Those coyotes do have long legs. About four or five years ago we had a family in the Park. People would drive by at night and the parking lot was illuminated, even though it is closed after dark, and people would see a family – a pair and one pup. One adult got into a neighborhood, down the street from me, and a police officer shot it in the leg and wounded it. Soon thereafter the family left the Park and no sightings of them. It was not gravely wounded, so they just moved on. In Oakland County, there are more as it is rural and several dogs and cats have been snatched … just last week a cat was snatched by a coyote (seen on a neighbor’s surveillance camera).
Yes, I would definitely not leave a cat outdoors. But they are losing their own territory’s to humans so they tend to come closer into towns.
Yes, it is not their fault. I watched a story one time – I think it was on Sixty Minutes – of cougars in Los Angeles whose territory is gone so they cross over the expressway into city neighborhoods. One had gotten into a house through an open basement window.
Excellent photos and verse, Sandra. Thank you. Love the close-ups. Coyotes generally like to hide out so you were once again in the right place at the right time. Did he ever acknowledge you?
Thank you RJ, it was strange how he walked right along next to us in the tall grass. He looked towards me once, but I was standing pretty still and then he just kept going.
amazing!
Have you a wonderful weekend
Thank you very much, you also. 😊
Some nights, we hear these guys out in the field behind our house, just carrying on noisily. They’re the main reason we never let our cats outside! 🙀
Yes, definitely don’t let your cats out. My cat as well and dogs stay with me close.
Nicely done. You captured the animal, not the myth.
Yes, he was so calm, just lumbering along. 😊
Amazing photos, Sandra. I can’t believe you got that close to it without it running off.
Me to, I spotted him in the long grass and then I just stopped and followed him with my camera. He sure did not seem to care.
Great photos!
Thank you very much 😊
I like your quite and this beautiful coyote!
Thank you very much 😊
Great quote! You also have a great weekend!
Thank you Marland. 😊
You’re welcome!
Interesting experience with a wild dog Sandra, so wonderful to see it up close and feel safe.
Yes, he was just minding his own business like we were not even there. 🙂
