Watching Coyote
I love to see coyotes because it feels as if they bring good luck. Although I’ve seen a number of them, both in the mountains and the desert, sightings are so rare that this is the first time I’ve had a chance to take a picture of one. Unfortunately, it was with my zoom lens in a car that, while not moving, was still on.
Last Butterfly of Autumn
One of the last butterflies of the season finds a still-blooming flower for an afternoon snack.
Spider on the Loose
We were driving over to Natural Bridges National Monument this weekend when sharp-sighted hubs spotted this tarantula crossing the road near the base of the Moki Dugway. It was drizzling lightly as we hopped out of the car, me with my camera fitted with its macro lens. As the spider pushed forward, I skittered backward, camera aimed on its hairy head, shooting photo after photo in the hopes that one would turn out the way I wished.
A few minutes later we let the spider go its way, and we went ours. No one — spider or human — was harmed in the making of this picture.
OMG! Like, seals!! Again!!!
Really, not much beats the sight of a sleeping seal. Or maybe that’s just me. If it is, then worry not — this is the last of the seal pictures. For now, at least. I may process and upload a few more in the future.
Making an Escape
Beach birds escape the surf, then follow the retreating water along the sand to look for buried food.
