It's a pretty special place!

I worked most of Sunday so it was 6 pm before I laced the boots and headed west... up to my Wood's  Quarry.

Half way there I noticed a gentleman poised gingerly over his digital SLR. I continued on, remembering what it felt like on Friday evening when Mark allowed me to talk him into a long hike on an unfamiliar path. Yes,  it's getting dark earlier these days!
(Mental note;  Add headlamp to the backpack)

On the way down I paused to ask the same guy,  who hadn't moved more that 2 feet, what his subject matter was.

The sky!  My favorite too!  :)




We compared pictures for a few minutes. ..Him with his lenses and bodies,  me with my camera phone. A little of my dignity left me,  right then and there!

Then I noticed movement on the trail behind me.  A young coyote was following at a distance.  Perhaps also interested in the deer that had been grazing in the field in front of us.


I willingly let time and daylight escape me and spent the next 20 minutes enjoying a pretty special place.... Critters, sunset and mountains. And as it turns out, I won some dignity back when my coyote videos won the admiration of my new photographer friend!
