My son and I spent Saturday climbing around on Matanuska Glacier here in Alaska and on the way out ran into this big cat. The beautiful lynx hung around long enough for me to take these photos.

    Wonderful images. I love the surrounding environment. The fall like colors really make the lynx stand out. thumb.gif

    Good job thumb.gif The few of these I've seen have either been in the dark or much to swift to get a photo.

    That must have been something to see. Now you can hang that cat on your wall and look at it every day.

    Thank You!
    Thank you all for viewing. It is a real pleasure to view and photograph one of these amazing creatures. I have been lucky in that I seem to be in the right place at the right time a lot. Makes exploring Alaska so much fun ...you never know what's just around the next corner. :D

    I don't know you personally, but I am sure that if you are a real "Shutter-Nut" you would absolutely enjoy this amazing state. Come on up, we would be more than happy to show you around. :D

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
