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."

Awesome stuff ! That looks like a memorable trip ? Where was this ?
John
Many thanks John. These were take in Chilean Patagonia. The topography alone is worth a visit but add in pumas that ignore your presence and its wildlife heaven on Earth!
Such an amazing set of photos...
I would love to experience this some day in the future. It is strange to see these animals hanging around a structure and just playing.
The last shot of the reclining puma with the endless landscape is my favorite...

Eric, these are my very favorite of the big cats and are seldom seen much less photographed in such a
wonderful manner! What a joy!
Mary
Thank you Mary. There are so few wild places to have the opportunity to spend time with pumas and not be concerned you are in danger.

Thank you Bruce. Cats are cats and they love to chase and play. I know you know that the play also builds important skills and for what was thought to be a solitary adult cat but really isn’t., bond.
