Mountain Lion

Bashful Mountain LionMountain Lion

The second animal we photographed at Triple D was a mountain lion.  Unfortunately, the sun was getting high in the sky by this time and the light wasn’t very good at the location where we were shooting.  It was starting to get warm too, so the lion wasn’t too interested in posing for the cameras.  She pretty much just wanted to lay in the shade.  I didn’t get very many good shots from this portion of the shoot.  I like the first one because it looks like she’s being bashful, even though she’s really just cleaning her face like cats often do.  On the second one, I was happy to be in spot that allowed me to get her eye framed by the blades of grass when she laid down to rest.  I really like this picture.

Next up is the baby lynx.  If you can’t handle cuteness, you might want to stay away. :)
