a distant cousin of dash, mr. wile e. coyote’s
tracks were a pleasant surprise at sunrise this
morning in denali national park. i was a bit
bummed i didn’t see one...

... until about 20 minutes down the road, off in the distant, RUNNING towards me (no photoshop re-toucing, actions, or textures were used on this image.. simply shot through a dirty windshield directly into the sun :)
i watched him carefully, as did he, as he came closer.


after giving him a dog biscuit and a scratch around the ears, we both went our separate ways.
(just kidding, people!)
i lucked out with super clear weather, so i took a short hike from the lower troublesome creek trailhead and spotted these cool hibernating plants:
at 20,320 feet, mount mckinley (denali) represents the highest peak in north america. my goal was to represent it in the context of approaching winter.
