Daily 5 Revisited - Day 50

Today's Daily 5:

1. a coyote dashed in front of me as I walked to the bus stop this morning. (keep in mind that I live in a suburban part of a large city, and that I don't live near any major park or green space.  also that it was before 6 am and a coyote dashing across city streets is just a bit of a jolting surprise!)
