Coyote on the ridge at Mt. Tamalpais

The ridge of our beloved Mount Tamalpais is a wild place, indeed. With slow and deliberate steps this Coyote was hunting something in the dry grass.

It has been a banner year for "shooting" wildlife on "The Mountain". Earlier this year I snapped a Wild Turkey, and a few months ago I came across a plethora of Woodpeckers with romance on their minds. I even got close to shy Coho Salmon spawning in the Lagunitas Creek.

But it has also been a good year for ripples. And the surface of Alpine Dam has some of the finest.

Photographic proof -- When ripples reflect, magic can happen.
