Fantastic series, Bill. What a great encounter.
We had some similar opportunities here in Santa Barbara a year or so ago. The mother and one of the kittens moved on so there is just the young female there now.

Wow! How the hell did you manage to get a picture of that? Amazing!
Bill Bouton (25 months ago | reply)
I was lucky to get what I did. The light was getting so low that I had to give up just when they were really into playing. I had to accept that I'd not get any more chances.
