Neighboring Critters [I Love the Outdoors and Nature]

Sitting here on the porch, listening to the songbirds, hummingbirds buzzing around and the creek below. Feeling pretty peaceful, plus sipping on some good whiskey and drinking coffee 😉

Guess I'm getting use to all the solitude here in this holler. Haven't much to say for awhile, but I just wanna share some special moments I've experienced lately.
Can't tell anyone around here because they would be tempted to go hunt/trap my neighboring critters.

The first of Spring I got to see up close and spent hours watching them.. from the porch, about 50ft away in a big tree... lordy that was winded.. two newly born bear Cubs.
They were so good staying there all day waiting for mama bear.. some was I. They climbed about and entertained me. Took some pictures but they were so far up the tree..not good at all..two black spots..lol
😁
A couple of mornings ago, I went to have my coffee on the porch and right there.... few feet away, behind the wood shed, sitting proudly below me was a full grown Bobcat. Omg he was beautiful. We watched each other for some spell, I even spoke out loud the I wanted to take a picture. I ran back into the house and grabbed my tablet.. he was still sitting there.
Not a good picture, but if you zoom in, right behind the shed, at the end of the limb 😉 you can see him sitting upright.


Thank you for reading. Take care ✌💖

Thank you. I felt 'ahhhhh,' reading this. The (small) city has advantages but I do miss the country.

@Mamapolo2016 thank you. I'm feeling ahhhhhh too!
@ShadowWorker I don't much miss bobcats screaming, though. They sound like you should make an urgent 911 call.

@Mamapolo2016 omg.. they cry like a woman in pain. Raises the hair on the back of the neck. I felt honored he would let me see him. Too cool.
