A bobcat crouches low at the edge of a still pool, tongue just touching the water as it drinks. Even mid-sip, its amber eyes are lifted and fixed on the viewer, ears alert, every muscle ready to move.
Warm earth tones and a soft, golden background surround the cat, and its reflection trembles in the water below. It is a rare and intimate encounter with one of Texas's most elusive wild animals, a moment of vulnerability held in perfect balance with watchfulness.
