Animal encounter in the canyon

/ 14 years ago

Sony SLT-A77V, f/4, 1/160 sec, ISO 100

After a nice Easter weekend, I am going for a short walk to the San Clemente Canyon – just five minutes from our house. Just when I pass the little creek, I run into two coyotes – I guess they are as surprised as I am. Luckily, I am able to take some picture before they disappear in the shrubs – it’s amazing how these animals hold their grounds in a city like San Diego.
