Another image from the many bobcat encounters I had over two days in California last month.
This was our best encounter, even if it was also the most hectic. The cat happened to be nearing the road as we drove by, so there were some screeching tires as our driver slammed on the brakes in surprise and a couple of hasty shots fired out the window. That's why it's a bit tight in the frame... the left edge of this image is the edge of the original frame. Would've like a bit more breathing room, but I was still happy with our best photo op with a cat during the visit.
By the way, I've selected some of my favorite moments (of which this was one) and images from the past year.

6 commentsunder the described conditions a very good image also considering that I learned that bobcats are rarely seen in the California.
Altough it was hectic I find that you managed also technically a good image. Thanks for sharing it and the story

My only wish would be fore little more room on the left
I'm helping Jess Lee with workshops the next couple weeks, so we'll have some chances at the one that's been on the Madison the past few years. Haven't got him yet...
