Most fantastic.<br /><br />Re coyotes, I think you & Stella together are fine, but when the coyotes are moving into the 'burbs and learning that kitties & puppies are so sweet and tender, one hopes they don't move on up the food chain. I don't begrudge them dinner, I just don't want to be it. In our woods here, because of some closer than comfortable recent woman/coyote encounters, I have taken to carrying my Lady Smith along with my camera. Not with intent to kill or wound, but to make a big noise and scare away. Also carry my cell phone. There could be 2-legged deer poachers in the woods, too.Beth W.http://switchedatbirth.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7484939079660955590.post-13928077793362050592009-11-12T07:19:16.807-06:002009-11-12T07:19:16.807-06:00I love living where the wild things are, but they ...I love living where the wild things are, but they can surely wreak some havok...Your landscape shot is just gorgeous. It's very seldom that I see a fall foliage shot that captures the aura of the day.

I'd say the cougar rules could be transferable. It sounds nutty but if I were out shooting in cougar country alone, I'd consider wearing a poncho or a cape.

Stella is such a good girl for obeying your command.<br /><br />Do you know if coyotes will attack adult humans? <br /><br />This makes me think of my impending move to California where mountain lions live, hunt and EAT. State parks post signs of what to do in case of an encounter: 1) Look as big as possible. 2) Don't turn your back or bend over. 3) Keep your children close. 4) Stay with your group. <br /><br />Now what's a girl to do if she's independent and likes to strike out on her own when the photography mood hits? (There's nothing worse than having "chatty Cathy" along on a photo safari.) Maybe I could buy some cougar repellant. I'm open for suggestions.<br /><br>Susan Rosehttp://naturally.my-expressions.comnoreply@blogger.com
