Lunch time visitor to our Yellowstone Zoo

It was a winter wonderland here today. It snowed this morning and was just tapering off around lunch time as we sat down to eat. When we looked out the windows, we saw we had a visitor. 
A coyote!
 
Easy to spot in the fresh snow. This is a great time of year to see coyotes. Their winter coat against the snow is particularly beautiful - and shows off their coloring well.

I love the coloring of the coyote with the muted colors of the bushes peeking out. A painting inspiration for sure!
 
And while we're on the subject of coloring. I took a photo of the Yellowstone River as the sun was just beginning to come out. It was gorgeous....
Who says water is blue? Lots of painting inspiration out our windows today.
