It’s been said that once you enter a natural environment, that it takes up to half an hour for nature to begin to restore itself and allow for one’s presence. As with any highly interconnected ecosystem and unbeknownst to us this is all subject to our limited understanding of the natural events that may already be transpiring.

Photographing wildlife in this natural environment is challenging to say the least. There’s always surprises but far many more disappointments.

My techniques associated with my pursuit of the Mountain Lion (Cougar) are evolving in hopes that I will one day get to capture this incredibly beautiful and elusive creature in it’s environment, just as it is and just as I am.

My patience and perseverance will persist.
