Description
This beautiful mama lynx kept close tabs on me as hiked past her in the forest near Indian, Alaska. Unbeknownst to me at this moment, she had treed her kitten very nearby just before I'd come upon them, and my path led me right past the tiny ball of fluff (see my photo, "Lynx Kitten"). She was going to make certain her kitten came to no harm from this forest passerby. When I finally noticed the kitten, I realized why the mama hadn't scampered off right away. I got a few shots of the baby, and then left them in peace.
This image was captured in RAW format at full resolution with a Canon 5d Mk II camera, 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L lens, handheld, 400mm, 1/125 sec, f/7.1, ISO 1000, 14.3 MB, 4927x3285 px.

I am so grateful for your orders, and happy you like the photo, and will have one for your wall. May you experience some of the joy in viewing your photo in the coming years, as I had in capturing it!! All my best to all of you, and again, THANK YOU!! :-) Please note: The pixel dimensions of this image are 4927x3285.
