Spirit Wolf

   

     A couple of years ago after a rain shower, I went down to my deck to watch the sunset along the Wisconsin River. The remains of the rain clouds cast a gray and black pattern, while the sun touched the still water with a hint of orange. Rain drops from the trees were sending circular ripples to the pallet. This was a great photo opportunity. I amazed at what my artistic eyes picked up on in one of the photos. After living along the river for many years, I’ve learned the tales of nature and especially of the Native American’s spiritual connection to wildlife. 

   When I uploaded the photos to the computer I saw the spirit guide of a wolf looking back at me. In the lower left of the photo the reflected clouds and the ripples of fish surfacing created this blessing for me. 

    The top photo is as taken, the lower photo has an overlay to help you pick up on what I saw.

 

  

   

    Almost all Native American tribes have some form of mythology about wolves. Many believe humans evolved from wolves. They’re considered to bestow courage, strength, loyalty and success at hunting. While spending time in nature and on the Wisconsin River it’s not hard to understand how their tales developed around what was in their everyday lives.
