Yesterday, I saw what looked like fresh 'evidence' of a mountain lion having had a bit of a wander not too far from here. This morning, I thought I would go back and see if I could take a photo, in the interest of scientific research.
As I walked along the trail, I started thinking that maybe it wasn't such a great idea, and knowing mountain lions don't like noise, decided to sing as I walked. Then I wondered whether a mountain lion of musical persuasion might be attracted to the sound, so decided a) I could keep quiet, or b) sing hymns in case he pounced. I then had a strange flight of fancy, imagining my response to a key question as follows:
'What do you mean you're not letting me in? I was singing a hymn when I died!'
Anyway, it was all in vain, the 'evidence' had been disseminated around the path, presumably by rodents in the night, which only made me more sure what I had seen had been a recent 'deposit'.
On the way back from my walk I saw sunlight streaming through the trees, so took photos of that instead.
