Coyote, Yellowstone National ParkWith a strong vision and sense of smell, and the ability to reach up to 40 miles per hour, coyotes are symbolic of adventure. I was fortunate enough to find this wild coyote while visiting Yellowstone National Park. It leaped and ran under tree branches and between boulders. I made sure not to disturb the coyote, and when it lay down on top of a hill I was able to include the coyote's environment in the background. This image displays the coyote's vast habitat, and a sense of mysteriousness and exploration, through its single eye staring back at the camera.

Butterfly, TexasI captured this image while visiting the butterfly exhibit in Houston, Texas. I noticed this leaf being illuminated by the sun and was just hoping a butterfly would land for a few seconds so I could get a few shots. I'm glad I was patient.
