Along the Riverbanks

A Mural for Nature Lovers

Okay, I thought this was a wolf, but turns out it’s a coyote.

This spectacular mural is on a retaining wall by the Don River. I’m guessing 100 ft. long anyway.

Viewing from left to right: The bits of green behind the Blue Fronted Dancer Damsel Fly are stinging nettle.

As I mentioned at the beginning, I thought this was a wolf. I had done a song with Tim about my Wolf Tree and the Wolf moon. I thought – YAY, I can use it here. Coyote not a wolf, I’m using it anyway. I can’t sing, but I’m singing anyway.
