I took a hike today in the woods down in Zion Chapel. The weather was overcast with spotty showers. I like walking through the forest in these conditions because the ground is soft and wet making your footsteps almost silent.
Along the trail I stopped to make sure my GPS was still locked on it's satellites when I heard a rustling about 10 yards behind me. I caught a glimpse of a small deer bounding away into the woods. Still watching the deer something else popped out on the path. It was a small gray coyote. He stopped with one paw raised and looked at me for a split second. He then turned back to his target and shot into the woods like a rocket.
It's these times that I want to kick myself when I forget my camera. I may not have been able to catch the shot but I would have tried. It would have been a great one for the album. I'll have to settle for a camera phone pic of the little worm above. I don't know how he got on that leaf but it's his little life raft on the creek. I hope he doesn't eat his own boat.
