    Definitely a 'big kitty' - not one I'd want on my couch, for sure rolleyes1.gif

    Nice focus on the head and detail in the fur. Wake him from a nap, did you?
    Creating visual and verbal images that resonate with you.

    Such beautiful looking creatures. I'm always amazed with big cats, at how calm they can look, but how ferocious they can be. Nice shots. Was this a wild animal?

    She's actually a rescue, some idiot decided to pluck her out of the wild as a kitten, and then keep her in the basement. She's not overly approachable as she still in her mind is very wild but not able to hunt on her own.

    Huge natural enclosure at a rehab facility.

    This is the first lynx capture here that I can recall. Very good images.

    Also a valuable lesson here to respect wildlife and not to treat them as characters in a Disney cartoon.

    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!"
