The coyote is a mythic and symbolic animal that is part of most Native American culture. Although often portrayed as a trickster, the Coyote is also considered a creative spirit. Here, Coyote sits on my shoulder, whispering to me. His spirit and beauty inspires me to create. I have always harbored a deep passion and respect for all creatures and Native cultures worldwide; this may stem from my Cherokee bloodline - as I believe our DNA and our current passions, interests and actions are slightly influenced by our past bloodlines, our ancestors (... Assassin's Creed anyone? < if you understand this reference, you're just as big an AC geek as I am, you silly people)
*Please note, no animals were harmed in the making of this photo. This coyote died of natural causes. I do not have any "trophy" animal pieces in my collection.
*Part of my "One photo a day for an entire year" Project. You can follow the progress of this one-year-long project here in my DeviantArt gallery: [link]
