Over the Rainbow......A little beauty, a little beast but all in all we found a pot of gold at the end..
"When all the world is a hopeless jumble
And the raindrops tumble all around,
Heaven opens a magic lane.
When all the clouds darken up the skyway
There's a rainbow highway to be found,
Leading from your window pane
To a place behind the sun,
Just a step beyond the rain.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby."

Did you take the 400 or 600 for that trip?

Was this in the US or Patagonia ? Wonderful captures & experience, I once witnessed 2 Mt Lions on a group of large boulders you would see in a western movie on my way to High Desert Julian Ca. prior to being into photography. I know they go by many names depending on there geographic area. Patagonia = Puma, Eastern US = Panther Cougar, Western US = Mt Lions.
