When I saw this Coyote napping on top of a knoll in Yellowstone, I knew I had to get a photo of it showing the off the incredible winter scenery. The only problem was that a napping Coyote looks somewhere between a rock and a lump. As I told a bunch of people who asked what I was watching, “Okay, you see that rock on top of the little hill? Yes? Okay, that rock is a Coyote.” Also, it was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fortunately, I had plenty of layers, so I picked the perfect spot, waited a couple of hours, and eventually was rewarded with this photo of a Coyote taking a big post-nap stretch in a winter wonderland. The weather really cooperated, with the sun casting just enough of a shadow to highlight the Coyote, but not so much that the photo was ruined.
