Fierce Green Fire
(Gray Wolf)
 
When I saw this Image full sized I thought of this Quote from
Aldo Leopold,
“We Reached the Old Wolf in time to watch a fierce green fire dying in
her eyes. I realized then, and have known ever since, that there was something new to me in those eyes-something known only to her and to
the mountain. I was young then, and full of trigger-itch; I thought that because fewer wolves meant more deer, that no wolves would mean
hunters’ paradise. But after seeing the green fire die, I sensed that neither the wolf nor the mountain agreed with such a view.”
 
Aldo Leopold 1949
