Hello everyone.
I have looked at some of the pictures that you all have posted and it inspired me to get off the basketball court, off the football field and go for a walk in our neighborhood......besides some birds at the pond that probably aren't to exciting, here is a few pics of my kitty that we walked with for about 30 minutes as the sun was almost gone.....I just wish I was behind a longer lens. This is the begining of a new type of photography for me. Enjoy, and please provide me with your C&C's they are gladly welcome.

Okay so this guy jumped out of the bushes and onto the trail in front of my wife and I. Bobcat I asked by wife? She anwered with ? I said in a soft voice holly cp it's a bobcat.

So we followed and what transpired was something incredible as he would sit and watch as I crept up close while he was just cruising along. Maybe a her.

I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did. I am just sad I didn't have a longer lens on our walk and that it didn't take 2500 ISO at 2.8 to get.

Now that was exciting.

    Thanks for the reply Joel.
    I think #6 might get published in our area paper.
    We were in the same area about 1 block from our house and I got touch down...

    2 is also a good action shot .Six is the best but with some work 5 and 7 would be nice. It is great to share a moment with a bobcat [something that is not an every day event ] thumb.gif
