Watercolour World

In the silence, a wondrous, watercolour world was revealed in soft light and softer lines.

Shrouds of Mystery

The grey tones of fog and the few autumn colours were subtle blends, as if melting, one into another.

A whiff of Smoke

Hay bales were hazy squares in the background, but I’d caught the coyote out in the open. He paused to look at me. The highlights, tones and shading of his coat were a blend of the field and hay bales that surrounded him. He was perfectly coloured for his environment. Seeing him there in that moment, I wasn’t surprised to later learn that the word camouflage comes from the French camouflet, meaning ‘a whiff of smoke in the face.’

Eye Contact

There was a soft, imperceptible transition between coyote and habitat, until it was no longer discernable where one stopped and the other began.

One Moment Moose, the Next Moment Gone

To over sharpen or over saturate this photograph in order to achieve ‘tack sharp’ clarity would ruin the image. Camouflage is a whisper of smoke, not a forest fire.
