Let’s get this out of the way, I’m not a wildlife photographer. I photograph mostly cultures, portraits of humanity, and landscapes. Living in Yellowstone for the season, you can’t help but photograph wildlife as it crosses your path. Most people look right past the coyotes on their way to the wolves, but I’ve always loved the wolves cousins, the coyotes. This week I’ll share a few images of those whose paths I’ve crossed so far this season.

My favorite of the bunch, a coyote temporarily hides in a hole while looking for prey

For a non-wildlife photographer, these images are quite a feat indeed, hi hi 🙂
I just loved the compositions, Russ… I could feel the vastness of this place and the fresh air…

Reblogged this on O LADO ESCURO DA LUA.
I’d be happy to have any of those shots! Sometimes nature just begs to be captured. 😀
And coyotes are really fun animals to watch!

Well, you captured the wildlife so that makes you a wildlife photographer (along with your many other talents). Always good to share your encounters and the landscape around you 🙂
Alright, I photograph wildlife when it crosses my path…
