Early one morning last week, we saw a bobcat making his way along our trail.  I wasn't able to snap a photo promptly.  My son's picture is akin to a Bigfoot sighting:


Our little dog enjoys the trail as well in all kinds of weather.  (This may frankly be from the City's public trail, as I notice the gravel shoulder.  Or it could be near our bridges.  Not sure.)
