These pictures were taken last week a couple of blocks from my house right beside the trail I walk on. I just got a copy of the pictures today. It's funny, you know they're there all the time but it just takes something like this and as soon as I hit the bush the hair on the back of my neck stands up. The next day the same house had a bear it one of their apple trees. bears are common but cougars are usually shy. Seeing two like this is very rare.
