I didn’t expect this …

The mysterious face was that of a bobcat, otherwise known as a red lynx. I have seen coyotes, foxes and even mountain lions in the hills around town but I’ve never seen a bobcat. I guess because, like domesticated cats, they’re active primarily at dawn or dusk. The rest of the time, they sleep.
The artists hadn’t begun working at the time of my walk and so I was able to get a few close ups.

Poor fish looks like he knows he’s in trouble!

The leaves she was so tenderly working on.

Across the street, Topper is coming along nicely. It looks like he has a backpack full of carrots.
For the next couple of days we’re expecting unsettled weather with the possibility of thunderstorms so I doubt much will get done on the mural.
Well it’s looking amazing! The Bobcat is beautiful, I think the fish is safe Ormond is not hungry at the moment!
I hope so!
This is cool – I like the detail of the leaves – very realistic!
I watch the young lady painting the leaves and she was, as they say, “in the zone.”
Looks better every time I see it, JT. I hope your weather doesn’t get too bad or at least isn’t harmful.
We could use the rain but it looks like it’s going to pass us by. It’s just cloudy and cool.
I could go for that. ๐
Looking better and better.
It looks like it’s going to be very colorful.
Yes!
Run fishโฆ run! Or rather swim, that otter looks hungry. Iโm really loving this mural!

He does. It does keep getting better.
Such a beautiful mural. I love the various elements of it ๐
Yes, it’s really coming along.
A bobcat! But of course. Makes perfect sense.
I love the bobcat. Mr Rabbit is gorgeous too.
