Coyote - The Trickster

This morning I woke up, made some breakfast, took a shower, put on some clothes, stepped into my flipflops, and walked to work on trail - no biking or running this time...and definitely going casual.

As I made my way up the final hill and emerged from the redwoods into a large meadow with low grass, I saw a medium sized coyote with soft tan colored fur. The coyote, known as the trickster in native American tales, was sitting on its rear, alone, in the middle of the open meadow. At this moment I wished that I had brought my camera...brilliant greenery surrounded the meadow with an equally stunning deep blue sky above. The coyote didn't seem to mind my prescence...

I continued on my way in to work. I feel awake and alive..now..it's an amazing feeling!
