Death Valley Day Trip - flowers, wild horses and a coyote

Wild Horses in Death Valley

These horses were not to far from the road. There was a herd of about 8 horses.  They really didn't seem to be very wild. People where as close a three feet and they didn't seem to mind. Even the mother with the baby didn't seem upset.  One of the horse sniffed my hand when I put it out.

Coyote in Death Valley

This coyote was walking down the main road.  When we stopped to take pictures it got off the road and just stared at us.

Wild Horses in Death Valley

There was a herd of about 8 wild horses not too far from the road in Death Valley. They didn't seem all that wild especially since one of them walked up to me and sniffed my outstretched hand.
