For nature photography after patience, I would put perseverance as something you need to get the picture. The day I got this picture of the coyote, I was leaving the town of Banff, where I could see a beautiful sunrise was about to occur, but I wanted to take a sunrise picture elsewhere. I got out of my car and started to walk to my location, I could see in the distance the beautiful sunrise I had left behind and as I now started to run to my location I was passing other opportunities to get other mountains in the morning glow. I was determined to get the picture with the mountain I had in mind that morning. I got there in time, but the clouds moved in and blocked the light I needed. I looked around for few minutes and decided it was too late for a sunrise picture in any direction, so I started to walk to my car. I came across few birds, just as I got my camera out they flew away. Few hours later I came across three coyotes, I started to take their pictures but an issue occurred with the memory card. I changed the card but the coyotes were gone from the area. I was not going to give up, knowing the direction they were headed I got ahead of them using a short cut and this time I got a picture.
Until next moment,
