Beautiful shot in motion. The Grace that flows and moves in the daily dance. Always beautiful to follow the muscles as they flex and move. Waiting for the purr-ttg

Interesting markings on the inside front left leg.Kool

Thanks Wunderground Friends. I'm very glad you enjoyed seeing this. It was the greatest thrill I've had out there. No wonder we haven't seen any bunnys!! I noticed the Doe that was walking that direction with her fawn got very nervous and turned and fled and I was sure I hadn't spooked her. Thanks, Approvers, for the honor of the "Blue"

Exciting that you spotted one of those, or would that be, that you saw one of those spotted cats? :D Congrats, Max!

Oddly, there are confirmed sightings of mountain lions in every state adjacent to Kansas, but not in Kansas. :D
