"THE TRILOGY"

Coyote - 6 Photos

The photos below may appear to have been developed with a "vignette effect" (a photograph which fades into its background without a definite border). 

However, in this instance, the vignette is, in fact, created by the camera focusing on the subject (the coyote) with the surrounding foliage blurring into the background.

Was walking along on a path looking for Bald Eagles, when surveying the areas something just seemed to be "one of these things just isn't like the others". Only in this case, one of those things wasn't a thing but a mammal, a coyote.

I took a closer look and there was the coyote peering out from behind the dried grasses & shrubs. You could almost see the "darn - busted" expression (Photo #5). Managed to move along the path so I could get a clearer less obstructed view and watched a very relaxed coyote, sit down, have a scratch or two and survey the area (Photo #1 through 5). 

And then it became more evident of what or who the coyote was looking for, when two of family members came along behind. As everyone well knows, wildlife does not take directorial suggestions & a whispered "down in front" fell on deaf ears. So Photo #6 is a photo of the two coyotes entering the area, with a blurred outline of the third coyote; hence the title "The Trilogy".
