This photo of an Opossum up a tree was my first photo I had published. It was back in 2008 by the Smithsonian Channel. They used it in a series called “Stories From The Vault” Episode 3: Nature’s Vault.

Coyote At Fort Chaffee

2023-02-01T06:06:45-06:00November 12, 2020|Categories: Coyote|Tags: , |

I photographed this Coyote on a firebreak at Fort Chaffee here in Arkansas. I was standing on the edge of the firebreak when I heard something walking through the brush near me. I took a few steps, and it moved closer. I sat on the ground and waited. A few seconds later a Coyote walked out into the firebreak in front of me. It stared at me for a few seconds and then walked away.
