Shrugging off Autumn's Shroud in Guntersville

Giving Way to Winter, Lake Guntersville, Guntersville, Alabama

Autumn is faithfully giving way to Winter on the banks of Lake Guntersville on the Tennessee River, in Guntersville, Alabama.

On a recent work-related trip to Guntersville, I paused long enough to notice that the seasons are continuing to shift, and the trees are shrugging off their autumn shrouds.

Coyote Crossing in Blount County, Alabama

As I drove through Blount County on my way to a meeting in Guntersville, Alabama, I spotted these three coyotes trotting mischievously away from an adjacent field housing a herd of cattle. There was no visible evidence that they had done anything disruptive, but they're coyotes and mischief is in their genetic makeup. Besides they appeared to be the most well-found coyotes I've ever seen.
