January 17, 2019, Point Reyes National Seashore. There he was. Coyote. There I was. Human. As we warily watched each other it occurred to me that each of us thinks the other is wild, unpredictable, and dangerous. We stared. I got my shots. He walked off—impatient to get on with life, but unscathed. I thought he was handsome. I don’t know what he thought.

He doesn’t look like he thought you were handsome, but maybe you’re right: maybe he was just impatient to get on with his life. Very nice shot!

Again, as others have said and more will say, a beautiful shot. I particular like the revealing comment, “…each of us thinks the other is wild, unpredictable, and dangerous.” It’s a viewpoint which is being proven on a daily basis, and one we should all be very mindful about. Thank you for the post!

Thank you. That was my central point. There’s an allegory in there somewhere, I’m sure.

Great narrative! I appreciate anyone getting outside of the usual conceptual boxes, as you did here.

Thank you. It really is a matter of viewpoint: as we were staring at each other I wondered, which one of us feels more threatened.
