Eventful Morning !

Couldn't of been a better Father's Day with the activity this morning. I left the house shortly after 5:00 AM to hike my favorite east side gate. I hadn't hiked a half mile when the action started. Walking quite and really being aware of what's going on presented this opportunity. I saw something off in the distance in the grass along the road edge that looked out of place. I focused my lens on it . Holy Crap ! It's a bobcat....
 
Still unaware of my presence, the cat was concerned with something over its head.
 
Curiosity did get this cat as it tried to figure out what I was.
 
It took off running , stopping short before slipping into the woods. I stood motionless. The cat turned and started walkingback towards me.

Then sat down and just stared at me
I must have moved with the camera ( Shi......) Oh well what an AWESOME Experience.
A bobcat pic has eluded me. Till Today :)
The pic opportunities continued as the morning went on. I was on my way to the waters edge when this guy got my attention
Ring Snake.
Then on my hike back to the road I found this tree frog
 
On my ride home from Quabbin I stopped at another swamp. While watching these otter pups play an Osprey perched a short distance away.
This what I call a " GOOD DAY"
