Coyote Dawn

Resa’s Wolf Tree and Venus at dawn.

When Jake and I went out for a walk at dawn, the first critters we encountered when we walked out onto the ditch bank were a couple of coyotes.

Sandias and geese in the mist again.

Balloons on the rise

Clouds splashing over the sandias eventually brought rain. We have 2/10 of an inch so far.

We got a rainbow at sunset

Sandias were still socked in

The clouds split for a moment at sunset

Coyotes Gate

Coyote using the Coyoteverse to shapeshift into a CoYoda.

This time of year, during the alignment of Sirius and the sun, coyote portals open up for them to move round and shapeshift through the Coyoteverse.

Spunk: “Hey Paparazzo! Don’t forget about Spunks Gate and the Spunkyverse. Since today was a no sun Sunday in the Spunkyverse, it was Sirius.” Il Paparazzo: “It was rough, especially when you were having a screaming match with your doppelgänger!”

Bumbling around about the Flowers Gate in the Beeverse.

Bullsnake ¡Olé!

Laurie with the Bullsnake. ¡Olé!

A large bullsnake was lying in the road. A large pickup truck rolled over it, but luckily it avoided running over the snake with the truck’s tires. I got out of our car, scooped up the bullsnake, and handed it to Laurie. The snake was squirking around, so she rolled down her wind and let it hang its head out the window like a dog. It calmed down a bit as we drove home. After photographing each other with the snake, I let it go in Rebecca’s Black Bamboo.

It seemed most appropriate that I was wearing an Alice Cooper T-shirt while holding the Bullsnake.

Jake and I saw a coyote on our walk at dusk.

We met the three coyotes on the levee again this morning.

Loki: “Psst! Marble! You really don’t want to eat that cheese. Il paparazzo had his filthy paws on it, you know!”

Coyotes & Cockleburs

We had hard rain on and off this afternoon.

When Jake and I went on our early morning walk, we encountered a pack of three coyotes. We were walking on the lower bank, and the coyotes ran up on top of the levee and watched as we walked by.

As you may know, Jake loves to lift his leg on tumbleweeds. Currently, the tumbleweeds are green and soft; however, Jake discovered cockleburs on the lower bank. While the cockleburs are also still green, they are nice and scratchy.

A short reprieve from the rain.

The clouds were gathering again when I left for the store to get cheese for the cats. It started raining hard again. I sat in the car and did Duolingo until the rain let up enough to where I wouldn’t get soaked walking into the store.

My rain gauge recorded 4/10 of an inch of rain this afternoon, bringing us up to nearly an inch of rain for the month of June.

Red Lights

Saturday is rush hour all day. Slow moving traffic, all red lights.

The mama dove is in the nest again. I don’t know if she laid more eggs.

Will You Be My Friend?

Pre-dawn

Jake and I went out for a walk yesterday afternoon and crossed paths the a coyote for the second day in a row. When I told Jake to sit, the coyote also sat, looking like he might like to be friends with Jake. The coyote was apprehensive, given the fact that Jake is three times larger than the coyote.

It started raining while Jake and I were on our walk. A bright rainbow came out of Shey’s tree.
