Made a friend on our afternoon walk.
I really wanted to brush that piece of grass out of his face before I took the picture, but then I decided I’d like to keep all my fingers.

After a CRAZY parade of bobcats (11 passes in an hour! -still trying to figure out whether 2, 3, or 4 diff indivs) we had a visit from one of our gorgeous blond coyotes today in spectacular early AM light.

Daytime camera trap photo of mallard ducks flying away and over a remnant beaver dam. The combination of movement and rolling shutter of the camera creates an abstract, wavy patterns of the duck's wings.
OTD in '23: a mallard in flight combined w/ rolling shutter creates an interesting abstract.
Today also marks 1 full year of posting images of the day, so I'll be taking a break before deciding what's next.
