Wolf Greeting

In my last post I shared the thrill of being next to a howling wild wolf.  Turns out, that wasn’t the end of the excitement. 

After a few minutes of howling by the black wolf, a little movement in the woods to my left caught my eye.  Sure enough, another Wolf had walked to the edge of the forest and was surveying the situation.  After about a minute this second wolf walked up and greeted the first one – that is the moment captured here. I was too close to even get them both entirely in the same frame! 

After this initial greeting, these two wolves playfully placed their front paws on each others shoulders.  To add to the excitement, a third wolf appeared!  After a few seconds of play, they all turned and silently walked away. Janine and I sat there for some time just basking in the memory of such a wonderful experience.  Janine would later write about the experience for a writing class she was taking at the time which you can read here; Early Morning Magic.
