    Well I think they are great photos…. certainly comparable to BDW. Especially the one where the car is moving… all you’d get from me was a blur… LOL

      everyone expects it to be cactus everywhere.

      I took a trip to Europe with some members of my Senior High School class, and when we told people we were from Arizona we actually had someone ask us this question:

      “Do you still have a lot of problems with Indians?”

      *grins* It’s a very diverse state. It snowed all last week at my house.

      I could cry…I had such hopes but had to be realistic …:cry:

      I still have and occasionally use my Olympus OM2000 film camera, as I still prefer film a lot of times – plus it’s a fully manual SLR.

      I did say occasionally, meaning, it’s had a film in it since this summer, waiting to be developed. I finally did today, keeping my fingers crossed that the first few pictures would turn out…

      Out of about seven photos this is the best I can do with all the post-production I know how to do in GIMP, it’s only about a fifth of the original, taken through a window screen, in dark shadows underneath my orange tree…

      You can just make out the other two, the dark backs of their ears, not sure if they were nursing or just snoozing. Momma is of course flat out…

            I see 4 sets of ears in total but not sure which belongs to mother 😕
            Great shots!

            Edit: I just figured out which belong to mother! 😆

            Those are really nice photos! Wish I could do that. XD

            Thank you everyone, glad you’re enjoying the pics. Most of these shots have been just luck, of course, being in the right place right time sort of thing.

            The bobcats I had more opportunity, since they were hanging around my backyard for a few days. Actually, I think Momma has sort of killed my orange tree, she was using it as a scratching post :x. Unfortunately, since it was summer and over 100* F that meant they pretty much stayed under the tree where it was darker and cooler, and I’m inside the house over 40 ft away without a good telephoto lens.

            Yup, Momma is a little hard to make out, you can just make out the edge of an ear behind the kitten face you can see. Most of her head is blocked by that one annoying leaf, just a little bit of cheek showing over her baby’s back.

            I went for a few days vacation in Utah, got a few pictures to share.

            I stayed at a hotel just 1.5 miles from the entrance, convenient but not a lot of places for food.

            This is from Zion Nat’l Park, just before sunrise.

            Not sure which of these I two like better

            or

            I also went to Bryce Nat’l Park.

            Just in case it isn’t clear, the dark jagged spots are tall pine trees. That’s how enormous this place is.

            An arch, though they call it Natural Bridge 😛

            An just because I know some of y’all like these… Got dive-bombed by this one, then he landed on a nearby fence to watch me to see if I had food…
