Photo Stories: Impression of a Hunter

The only evidence that a bobcat had been here was this impression in the sand.

Another uncropped image from November 15 2008. This photograph was taken just short of my intended destination of two lakes, down in a bowl like clearing in the trees. I never did get a shot of those lakes that I liked, but as you can see I took plenty of pictures that I did like. This paw print was the only one of it's kind out there and a short distance away was a torn to shreds wing of a large bird, maybe a vulture or something like that. I don't know if they were related.

I personally like the sand in this image. It is so crisp and the impression is so well formed that I am fascinated by it. Anyway, on to the vitals of the pic.
