Hedgerow


In the shade of the hedgerows in a lower field where the grass was wet I came upon a coyote. A handsome beast with dark tipped fur, healthy, assured, and in no rush. It rose up from where it had been lying, curious to get a good look at me. The unfamiliar sound of the wooden paintbox thumping against my shoulder as I carried it, must have caught it's attention. It was a very hot day, the air humid and still.
