This mountain lion was hiding out, from Blue, a couple feet above him, while I was shooting some newly opened blossoms, directly in front of him.
I guess you'd cal it, a chance encounter.
Amazing Doug. The different colors on the rocks look like wrinkled up paper. It sure has a lot of depth and he is really eyeing you :) Nice work. Anita
Oh no you don't ... this "City Slicker" wasn't born yesterday. I know my wildlife fella ... and that ain't no Mountain Lion. You had me goin' till I saw it full screen. That's a GRIZZLY if I ever saw one. Sheesh ... do I have to tell you "Country Boys" everythin' ? Cutest Grizzly I ever did see though. :o)
The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.
