The moon is just past full. I walked out with Karl this morning about 4:30 a.m. Coyotes were singing of a successful hunt in the eerie, high pitched, keening song that tells of their success and another’s demise – the circle of life in the wild. Usually this would send Karl into a sympathetic or empathetic ?? – howling song of his own, but he stood still and just listened. We started our walk down the driveway and the still nearly full moon was visible in a hazy circle through the trees.
As the sky lightened a bit, the coyotes grew quiet and the morning birds of summer started singing.
The sun rise behind the mountain was a firey hot pink by 5:20 and the first rays turned the wispy clouds overhead a lovely magenta.
The first full day of summer begins here in Northwest Montana.
What a way to start the day with a beautiful Montana sunrise! Now to be there would be the… best! Hopefully in Sept.
Thanks for sharing your morning walk with Karl!
That is so cool! Those pink clouds and that moon! So lovely!
Miles and miles away here in Ohio, and I too listened to the coyotes- only from the safety of my back porch! Some things are the same under that wonderful moon, no matter where you are gazing at it from!
Karl was just embracing his inner primitive dog…only happens during certain moon phases. ;-)
Lovely pictures as always, Ann!
Man how I would love to be where you are, I do enjoy your pictures
