(https://i.snap.as/evKs9hQ.jpeg) I met this little happy peaceful spirit in Joshua Tree National Park.. As I sat down and watched them peacefully, they would occasionally cock their head at me, it seemed? and widen its eyes- the whole thing felt very whimsical, as if we were both reading the wind together..

We hung out together for about 2 hours, sitting there across from each other- on opposite sides of the road way... Just 2 cars passed by the entire time we sat together. But what makes this #photo memorable for me is that the coyote and I , almost seemed to have an exchange of peacefully enjoying a portion of the afternoon together.. it was as if the creature understood or at least was willing to briefly accept me without reservation- and for a brief period of time- I was fluent in coyote.

Between The 29 Palms Death Valley Exit and some exotic animal preserve 60 miles ahead, headed back into California from Nevada – Shot Dec 2006 – Canon EOS 20 D

This photo is taken inside of Death Valley National Park, right before you begin to be around 50 miles away from Stove Pipe Wells. There are actually gigantic indian petroglyphs and indian mud statues here, inbetween the sand.... they are 75-250 ft long, on average, from my exploration there. I saw crocodiles, lizards, alligators, birds, snakes, other four legged and two legged things.. It blew my mind. I've never seen it again, either. The nature of sand, I guess...

“Waiting.” – Dec 2005 – -Union Square— San Francisco, CA

This is an overlook right before wild rose canyon road begins to the right, and leads out of the park. It's about 55 miles to the mountain peak in front of us here. Shot in 2006, December on a Canon EOS 20D.
