Species: Coyote | Location: Rocky Mountain National Park, USA
It was time to wrap up for the evening as a storm moved into Rocky Mountain National Park and the sun was sitting low in the sky and as I was leaving Moraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park I saw a lone Coyote running across an open area and I slowly pulled over a took a few images from the car. The run slowed to a walk and then sniffing around this beautiful coyote settled in to rest. With one eye on me as I pulled out my bigger gear carefully and quietly I setup and spent a good 20 minutes watching as he napped and tried to stay warm.
I was thrilled that he checked on me but never felt uncomfortable, I packed up for the night feeling like that moment was just for me and he was probably in for a cold night but found some cover to rest.
About The Photographer
I was blessed to come into the world of photography by accident and have loved it ever since. I grew up on a state park and had a trained eye for animals at a very early age. I just thought everyone saw what I did. I have gotten more and more into this joy of the camera world and recently I have realized I was given a gift to see and notice things that I could share through a lens. I took one professional class for a week in Yellowstone and I was hooked and that was the extent of my formal training. I jokingly call myself the accidental photographer and have slowly realized that the late hours of playing with learning how to edit and playing with gear has turned into something that may one day be more then just a pleasure. I love that each one of us can see the world at the right place and time and it will never be just that same way again. The moment we capture is just that, a moment in time and how lucky we are to do so.
