Sidanelai must be a Canadian indigenous word which means same as the Lakota word Mitakuye Oyasin directly translated means "We are all related"...that in itself is pretty neat.

The picture alone is well worth the look but adding the words to the poem really bumps it up a notch. Besides being and learning photography...we also appear to be getting better at writing..a TN world full of photojournalists! super Rick!

Hi Rick,

You SHOULD be proud of those woodpeckers!!! This howling wolf is nothing to sneeze at either. I can almost hear him. I love the way his eyes are closed. He looks great in the tall grasses with the light on his head. His grey and black coat is beautiful. Wonderful setting and composition.

Wow! This has to be one of your best. I love it and am jealous! The only gray wolf I've captured was a mean looking son-of-a-gun! Yours is a real beauty... and then to capture him howling. Super!

At the rate they are shooting wolves in Idaho, Montana & Wyoming they won't be roaming free for long! :(

Hi Rick
Such a powerful and touching poem, it's so true.

To me the wolf is an icon of freedom and wilderness. You've captured what it means to be free and wild in nature. An excellent portrait, colour and composition. Well done...again :D

So when are we going to get together???
