Bobcat

Derek and I were floating a small creek in Butler county last week when a movement on the bank caught my eye. " Derek!" I whispered urgently, "Bobcat!" He whispered back, "Camera!" The bag containing the camera was behind the seat of my kayak and I fumbled around inside feeling for it, never taking my eye off the cat. As I groped around the bobcat made a continuous low growling sound and followed us walking along the bank. I finally got the camera in my hands and managed to snap a few quick pictures . It was early morning and the bright light in the field behind the cat made it difficult to get a good shot, but I did capture a few decent ones before it wandered into the field.
