Skiing with My Camera: Mountain Lion Tracks and Ice

It’s been a while since my last post. We’ve had a mild winter with just enough snow to ski out the back door most of the days during the last six weeks. Over the last month, our dog has treed a mountain lion at night several times on our property. Last week my husband was …

This week I knelt to ice shapes in mud puddles and settled …
