Coyote, Joshua Tree National Park, California.
It was a treat watching this coyote as he passed by my location on a nice evening earlier this week. Being outdoors in a place like Joshua Tree is always a treat, but having the opportunity to observe wildlife in it’s natural environment, substantially enhances the experience.
Right after the coyote pasted by this spot, a chipmunk ran out from under the rock you see above the coyote’s head – I suppose the chipmunk didn’t enjoying the coyote’s presence as much as I did.

Nice capture Ron, pretty place
Thanks Dennis
What a great moment Ron. The rocks definitely provide a lot of size contrast.
Rodents seldom enjoy the beauty of coyotes. Great capture. Coyotes are always intriguing animals to see and watch. It’s not much of a surprise that they held a place in Native American mysticism as a trickster… no doubt due to their cunning and aloofness. It’s always great to see a beautiful landscape with a coyote in it.
Thanks guys – they really are fascinating animals!
