The area got of dusting of snow overnight. The trees in the distance caught my eye because they were outlined in white. Snow was sticking to one side of the trees. And the way the sun was striking the trees looked like it would be a great picture.
As I walked toward the window with the camera. Suddenly I spotted two coyotes very close to the bird feeders. I immediately change my attention to the coyotes.
