She could eat oats in my barn anytime

My best images are always from the Badlands of North Dakota in Theodore Roosevelt national park. My mom died in April and I have visited the badlands four times in2024. My mother was born and raised on a ranch that is now the Cottonwood Campground so I took her home for burial. This coyote was around the prairie dog town while we were there and reminded me of the maternal spirit that raises young. She raised five babies and gave up her dreams to assure a happy home for us. RIP momma

Yesterday weather was spring like with robins and tree swallows. Swans sitting on the icy lake waiting for the spring thaw. Soon the birds will all return and all will be good again. Enjoy til tomorrow MJ

I entered this in a contest and feedback was the small twig was distracting. This was a nature image and it is against the rules to remove elements So much for that comment
