    While on the boardwalk at Taylor Creek we were all surprised to see this bobcat come out to fish for Kokanee salmon. It was not phased by the people which allowed us to take pictures as it caught fish. He or she was taking back into the woods to eat only to return again for seconds.

    Title or Location: Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge
    This photograph was taken in Lincoln Estates Park, a small park in the city of Roseville, north of Sacramento. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, but I noticed this dewy grass along the edge of the path. I'm a sucker for water droplets and the light was backlighting the blades of grass such that the veins were clearly silhouetted.This was taken with my Canon R7, with a 100 mm macro lens, at ISO 200, with f/7.1.

    Title or Location: Crane Park, Whitton.
    Taken with Nikon D7500 with 300mm Nikkor lens. Two male Kingfishers possibly adult male and offspring sitting low by the River Crane. Light was low so had to use a high ISO. Because of this the image had to be denoised . It was then cropped and clarity and texture added in Lightroom. I have a nice triptych of them sitting in three different poses.
