Wildlife

Yesterday, immediately after publishing my post with Missing My Camera the title, a coyote walked by in front of me then by the window with the blue glass that was recently the photo on this blog and toward the road. I'm going, "Darn, no camera." I wish I could somehow share this.
I then see a truck slow down and my favorite ex was driving by and had to slow down to let the coyote pass. She came in and visited and we amazedly discussed this sight. The coyote was definitely healthy looking and not the half starved, straggley coyote that we usually see. I actually thought it was a huge very dark silver fox but it was bigger than any fox I'd ever seen. I just haven't seen coyotes look so healthy.

I'll have my camera tomorrow and promise never to forget it again. I have the photo with just my tire tracks surrounded with snowy branches. I'd have had it with NO tire tracks had I not forgotten my camera at work. It happened a couple of times in the summer too. I have to be more careful (cuidado).

I know I have someone doing Joni's Coyote but can't find it. Instead how about The Be Good Tanya's version of Prince's When Doves Cry. Also, Cold Day by Sonya Kitchell. It certainly is a cold day, not fit for wildlife. No wonder the doves have been crying.

For Da Birds

I'm feeling exceptionally lazy today and managed only the basic chores and a bit of outdoor work. With my normal high energy level it's perfectly ok to have a lazy day now and then. The cats were outside with me and were communing with the birds. It's so cool to have trained cats. I worked very hard on them the first couple of years and it's all paid off as I don't worry about them catching the birds that I've invited for supper.....the bird's supper, not the cats'.

Musical selections today are for the birds. This little Be Good Tanya's song, The Littlest Birds, became famous when it was featured in a Gap commercial. A Bird's Song by Ingrid Michaelson is a nice relaxing number, my kind of music today.

For a linkI've chosen Van der Woning Photography. He may be listed in my regular links, I'm not sure. He is a canadian photographer that I've had bookmarked for years because he takes really great photos of ducks. He has lots of categories other than "swimmers" so check him out.
