As I traversed a wide meadow, leaving the water behind, I spotted something running toward me in the distance. I stopped and waited for it to come closer, expecting it to be a dog. But as it dipped over the hills, I noticed it blending in too well, popping over the grass, its tail floating like a cloud behind it. Then all too soon, only 2 feet away, I made eye contact with the coyote. The coyote trotted by me and then stopped a few yards away to look back. We stood there in the spring air, wondering what each was up to. The coyote turned away calmly and ran for the water I had just left.
