I got out yesterday and took my 3 mile walk pretty early, but it was after sun up.&#160; On the return trip I noticed a cat crossing the road \u2013 way up the road.&#160; Then it occurred to me it was a pretty damn big cat?&#160; Then the lights came on it was a Bobcat\u2026 It came out of the timber on the north <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>side<\/strong> of 19th street about 100 yards east of the Range Road corner and crossed to the south.&#160; Then stopped on the sidewalk on that <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>side<\/strong> and looked back\u2026 then two smaller ones \u2013 kittens \u2013 came across.&#160; I tried to get a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>picture<\/strong> of the last <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> across with my phone\u2026 it was so bad you can\u2019t tell what I was shooting.&#160; I then trudged on up that damn hill and when I got to where I figured they crossed I peered into the timber on that <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>side<\/strong> and there she was with both kittens about 20 yards into the timber\u2026&#160; not scared or anything but watching me to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> sure I didn\u2019t <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> any move in their direction\u2026 I tried to get a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>picture<\/strong> of that but the thickness of the trees and what it took to get a clear shot made those <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>turn<\/strong> out real bad\u2026 so I just gave up on the pictures\u2026&#160;&#160; The up is seeing the Bobcats, the down is not being able to get pictures and share\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It is neat to see such wildlife on the trails but it is a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>bit<\/strong> worrisome to see that they are not at all scared of me or not enough to run and hide and cats that big can eat my wife\u2019s little dog.&#160; I suspect that cat may be harvesting a few of the neighbors guinea fowl when they are not secured?&#160; Still interesting to me.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>That was yesterday and that was about all I got done other than work on some file updates for the boss\u2026&#160; That was a down\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Today, I was back out and made my walk but no unusual wildlife today.&#160; It was up <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>cause<\/strong> I did I but down <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>cause<\/strong> it was a NORMAL day\u2026<\/p>\n<p>After the walk I went to town for breakfast.&#160; I had not had a good sausage roll for some <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>time<\/strong> so that was on my list of things to get done \u2013 an up.&#160;&#160; I also got a haircut as my hair seems to get fluffy in all the wrong places and needs to be trimmed from <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>time<\/strong> to time, a real&#160; down.&#160; I am experiencing that age <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>thing<\/strong> there too\u2026 thin on top and still thick on the sides, another down\u2026 oh well , I am not bald, and&#160; yet\u2026 and up\u2026although in retrospect that might be an easier <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>thing<\/strong> to take care of?<\/p>\n<p>Today I did get the camera out after the walk and got a few pictures of some of the color changes we are getting.&#160; I think it will be a really good year for a variety of colors\u2026&#160; These are all up\u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ishmaels.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/SAM_6407.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none;
