Off the Grid

Communing with nature in the Yosemite Valley
I actually uploaded the pics in reverse order, but the river scene is for Thursday's submission. We descended down through the Sierras on Thursday and followed the Merced river into the Yosemite Valley. We lost all contact with the outside world, no cellphones, no internet, very basic accomodations. Spectacular!
The coyote was taken today (friday) as we were touring around the valley in the late morning. There were some tourists hiking with their two dogs on leashes. Two coyotes were out in the meadow hunting for mice and did not take too kindly to the domestic dogs being in their turf. They were howling and carrying on until the tourists loaded their dogs into their car...then the coyotes went back to hunting. What a wonderful experience to witness. This coyote actually caught a mouse as we were watching him - he was totally unimpressed by our presence...
