Pre-Dawn
Just when I thought it was safe to go on a walk without the distractions of clouds, coyotes, moon and cranes, they all happen.

Dawn






Clouds gone wild



This is not Wile E. Coyote. We ran into each other on the bridge over the Clearwater Ditch. I think this coyote is a female. Maybe Wile E. Coyote’s girlfriend. She is afraid of me, and says “Leave me be Sam I am! I don’t want your Paparazzo spam!”


This is Wile E. Coyote. He was standing on the levee watching me cross the bridge.






Wile E. Coyote followed me into the bosque.



Wile E. Coyote is a male. In this series he walks toward a pile of coyote crap, stops, lifts his leg to pee on it, then continues on his way.

With all the thin clouds hanging around, the Sandias turned a brilliant red tonight.



Cranes flew under the moon


WOW! Another series of awesome photos. You get to shoot the best in your environment. Thanks, Tim. 📚Christine
You’re welcome, Christine. Thanks for dropping by.
Were you specifically trying to avoid distractions on this walk?
It’s like this. When I do a mile walk around the block at the office, it takes me 15 to 18 minutes depending on how my joints are feeling. Tonight I walked a mile in the bosque and it took me 1 hour 26 minutes with all the distractions. Thanks, JYP. I see you ditched the dog avatar.
Fair enough. An hour and a half walk is lovely if you have an hour and a half. Well, it was nice of you to share all this distracting scenery. Yeah, it was time for an avatar change.
And everyone gets to see the same as it ever was photos of C, C, M & C.
And they all said ‘Take our picture,’ so you did and beautifully too.
Wile E. does seem like being photographed. Thanks, Shey.
I can tell. He is something else.
I lie these coyote-fotos!
Thanks, Heidi.
Nice shots of the Coyote but the read colored Sandias attracted me the most in this collection of pictures.
Thanks, Rudi.
It’s never ‘safe’ out there, is it?! Which is all the best for us, she selfishly said apologetically!
Hi, Wile E. and girlfriend!
Not safe at all. We need a name for Wile E’s girlfriend. How does Wilette sound? Thanks, Marina.
Wilette E. sounds great!
The Red Sandias… STUNNING! THe skies were amazing! I took pictures of our skies last night too! 🙂
Then the coyote! WOW!
You always amaze me!
Thanks, Nancy.
Really lovely Tim.
Thanks, Sylvia.
I love that you can tell the coyotes apart – proof you see ’em often!
The red on the Sandias! Whoa!
Beauty… Everything.
It;s like our kitties G&G, I tell the them apart by the behavior than their looks. So goes it coyote IDs. Thanks, Dale.
Well, of course. I guess I meant it was cool that you can because you DO see them often. I love it.
I got it, but I though I should mention how I tell them apart.
And I thank you!
A beautiful dawn exploding into clouds and settling into a colorful dusk again. I enjoyed seeing the coyotes, too, So Wile E left a P-Mail on the Dung pile? Coyote-Net!
Hahaha! Coyote-net. I love it. Yeah, Wile E. was leaving a note. Thanks, Lavinia.
Brilliant skyscapes once again! Every time I see one of your coyote photos, “Yond Cassius has a mean and hungry look” pops into my head
Although, as fat as Wile E. is for a coyote, he’s not going hungry. Neither is his girlfriend. Although, she’s more trim than Wile E. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Another cracking selection with humour attatched too. Thanks Tim. Loved this one.
Thanks, Inchie.
Well deserved, Sir!
Now your job is to capture the action of Wile E and his G.F. in action. Knowing you, you will.. lovely as always, Tim❣️
Ha! Don’t don’t on it. Thanks, Cindy.
😹😹😹
I got everything but Coyote. How could I forget?
Seems like Wile E. is getting to know you.
If that is his GF, where will they have their pups?
Speaking of young-uns, any owl news?
I found an owl art yesterday… a beauty! xo
I don’t think the owls chose my nest. Maybe next year. There will be coyote pups, but I don’t want to mess with mama coyote and pups. Yikes! Thanks, Resa.
Oh.. Yeah, I guess coyote pups mom would be vicious. xx
Not to be messed with.
Got my tree and the T-H tree!
Enjoy. They have been standing out and outstanding.
Yes!!! xo
Wile was making sure you didn’t get to close to his date! If they are mates, expect to see a few more hanging around in about two months!
One of our neighbors said they had three pups last year and one pup got hit and killed by a car on their road. Thanks, Brian.
Your skies are the best! Great shots Tim ..
Thanks, Julie.
