Coyote Beautiful


We went for a hike in the park yesterday and ran into an incredible coyote. This isn't him, but this is what he looked like.

He was so well hidden in the prairie grass that we didn't see him until we were right there. He stood up tall and looked at us, and I took the kids' hands and backed away slowly.

"Thank you, Lord, that you made coyotes... and that you take care of us" (That was me, the caretaker of 2 small children, not the kids... Soph thought he might want to be petted).

He got up and moved further into the field and laid back down, showing us it was okay to pass. As soon as we had gone down the path, he became invisible again in the grass. Marvelous.

This is off topic, but how do you get your video onto your computer? I can't find anyway to get mine to work.
