Hello! Who’s that?
Photos taken today in the Catalina Foothills. The cat was not scared of me, equally curious as I was. It crossed the trail just in front of me before jumping behind the rock wall to observe a goofy mountain biker in his happy habitat.
Later I heard coyotes howling and barking at each other, with me in the middle! They were ridge running on both sides of the wash I was riding in and making quite the chorus. I watched them chase each other, then merge into one pack.
It was a fine day for the suburban loop. 78 degrees and thin overcast. Primo.
