The story behind the photograph

I volunteer occasionally at a wolf sanctuary in Colorado. We have helped establish large open paddocks (fenced with integrity) for these amazing beasts that come here from all scenarios. In exchange for our work, we are able to interact, even pet, and I have even been licked in the face! They are larger than you imagine, and they are not dogs - you feel the wild in their presence. This is sweet Indigo. She passed away the next morning from this photo, laying herself to rest underneath the same tree where her sister passed.”

A black-phase gray wolf stands in dry grass and scattered leaf litter, head turned to its right, one amber eye catching the light. Low sun rakes across the coat, silvering the guard hairs along the shoulder and ruff while the muzzle and flank stay in deep shadow. The background falls away into warm, out-of-focus bands of bleached grass and bare ground.
