On our way home this afternoon, Joshua and I saw the most stunning Coyote jogging across the road right in front of us it slowed and looked straight at us too before jogging off into the woods !





Ok ... in the middle of day - that is NOT the norm at all even IF ( big if ) you get to see a live Coyote period



just wanted to share with anyone intersted

Coyote

Trickster, Shape-Changer, keep me from danger.
Cunning magician, teach me your ways
Of magical fire, powers much higher.
Lead me to new life. Brighten my days.


Wisdom, Folly

The Coyote teaches you how wisdom and folly
go hand-in-hand.
In the folly of others, we see our own foolishness
and we learn from their mistakes.

If a Coyote totem has appeared in your life,
be prepared for "Murphy's Law" to enter your life with a vengeance.
Your sense of humor will arise full force in keeping with the things happening around you.
Blind dates, things that suddenly don't work, all this is Coyote humor.
You need to learn to laugh at yourself and Life's irony.

Coyote energy is tied to simplicity and trust.
It stimulates and renews innocence and reawakens a childlike wisdom in the world.
A Coyote's howl touches your soul, reminding us of our primal connections.

Coyote people are very adaptive to new situations
and have close-knit families, especially when children are involved.

Aww, that coyote is cute! We have coyotes around here too. In fact, I've seen a couple, but not close enough to get a picture of.

you sometimes see coyotes in the middle of the day here... but not usually.
and only if they are jogging along the edge of a roadway heading somewhere where they feel safe and secure.


i wished a while ago that i could have recorded them singing outside my bedroom window at the farm you know they are out to play when they start yipping away - such a unique song.

I would love to hear that!

It's nice, but it's no goat.

There always seemed to be something menacing about Coyotes

wolves can be menacing. coyotes behave more like dogs really...
albeit ones that like to take down small furry creatures

coyotes are groovy. AND seriously under-appreciated

Beautiful animals.

I remember not too long ago, people here were terrified because coyotes were making their way down here and terrorizing the area. I wanted to see one up close, just running in the wild.

But if you get a pack of Coyotes they will attack humans, I don't like those yellow eyes

we must have much more timid ones here in then
i know that "fluffy" is apt to go missing in areas where coyotes share semi urban spaces
and i have seen the aftermath of a deer on our farm after they have used it for lunch
but never ever have i heard of coyotes attacking a person.


we used to have a german shepard that thought he was part coyote
they would come close to the house and call for him to come and play
if he went he usually would be gone till the next morning. i swear if he
hadn't been neutered we would have had some funny looking coyotes walking around
if we didn't let him go play he would sit at the road and do a hillarious bark/howl back and forth with them

i miss you skeeter
