Lovely post as usual - love the snow ...Kia ora KB,<br /> Lovely post as usual - love the snow and romping photos, but moreso your respect for the wild animals whom live there. It adds to the interaction with wild places in my view. Our geopraphic isolation here in NZ means we never had predatory large animals here, not even snakes. Even deer, thar, and chamois are introduced. So at times I miss the thought of large creatures possibly Ruahineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398484733805119294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4905010459077232225.post-37541144129550045942009-10-30T13:53:15.403-06:002009-10-30T13:53:15.403-06:00Zoiks, that's a lot of snow!
The first time...Zoiks, that's a lot of snow! <br /><br />The first time I saw a coyote out here, I was shocked at how big it was - I was used to the scrubby little coyotes where my grandparents lived out West, but this one looked to be about a big as Z! But I've got the impression that the coyotes around here are much shyer than they are out west.

I wo...That is so sad about the singer being killed. I wonder if they were rabid. I just wrote a piece on rabies, so it makes me wonder.<br /><br />I'm not afraid of our local coyotes either. A risk to dogs or other pets? Sure. A risk to people? I've never felt threatened, and I've had two coyotes come blasting out of the forest right toward me on a hike near the house.

(But my response is a book in itself!)<br />I grabbed my cuppa and relaxed into my chair just to take in all you have to offer. Thank you so much for all your effort in sharing it all with us!!!

I loved the photographs.<br /><br />I agree with you about the problems of "managing" wildlife.

The East is so much more crowded than the West, but we still have wonderful stretches of undeveloped areas that are just beautiful. I love to see the majesty of the bigger animals out in them.D.K.

The ones around here run away. In Arizona, my sister was running in the desert and had one follow behind her but she never worried about it and the coyote eventually turned to follow a jogger going the other way.

It was so beautiful, though we had to be careful when the wind blew "cow plops" of snow off the higher branches. I agree with your assessment of living close to wilderness and wildlife. I'm alert and respectful, but I would never avoid the wild because of fear.

However, you know, don't you, that the brave in your body starts leaking out in about your 60s and by the time you get to be my age, its almost completely gone. So my days of mountain climbing and bravely stomping through rocks and snow are waaaay gone. Thats why it is fun to do a little vicarious thing with you, KB!
