Ellen's Coyote (#5)
"Look, there's a coyote!" I almost immediatly regretted my words because Ellen threw on the brakes...and started backing up on the narrow, curvy road.We were on the way up to Cedar Lodge to meet the new class of Residential students. Ellen was driving because I really hate to, and it was likely that there would be lots of cars in the parking lot. It was the 5th coyote I've seen in recent months, and it hung around long enough for me to get a few pictures...not that I can prove it. I put them on a disk last night, but evidently grabed a blank one on my way out the door.Ellen Haas is one of my bosses at Wilderness Awareness School, and one of the aouthors of "Coyote's Guide" our book that is coming out any day now. Ellen says she's only ever seen one other wild coyote, so it seems especially significant that we saw this one last night. With luck, I'll be able to show you the pics tomorrow.

Hello Linda. Enjoyed reading your posts, and conratulations on resisting the paradigm to live a low income life of nature, purpose and heart. Found you while searching for promo for the Coyote kid's awareness book (we're releasing my partner's empowerment, herbs and nature book for little girls "I'm A Medicine Woman Too!", and figuring out how to get it announced).
