Coyote In My Yard Today

Coyote in my yard today 
Looked small and scroungy from a distance
The closer she got the bigger she looked
I thought of all the nights I have walked around out there
Listening to coyote yips as they surround their prey
With no idea how large they are
I watch her paw the earth
Feeling vulnerable

Talk about creatures in the night! A little too close for comfort, Caren.

I could not believe how close it came to the house.
