It's in the Eyes

It's in the Eyes - Bobcats have the most beautiful eyes of all the species of wildlife that I have photographed. There are so many intricate patterns and colors within their irises. This is part of why they are my favorite species to photograph.

This particular evening, I was fortunate to have this beautiful young Bobcat out in front of me for a couple hours right at the golden hour. This was my first time photographing a Bobcat at the golden hour and it was a splendid experience to get those pinkish gold rays of light striking her eyes!

Looking forward to getting out to look for this species some more this fall and winter.
