What started out as a nice enough walk around the neighborhood to get some fresh air and exercise turned into a delightful one when we spotted a bobcat in a tree. That's a first for us.

The bobcat remained in position — not moving a muscle — long enough for us to watch it for a while. When we returned 45 minutes later to check on it and get a couple of photos, he was still in the same position. We wondered if it might be stuck in the "V" of some branches.

The question was answered when Mui stopped by after lunch to check on it. As Mui watched, the bobcat jumped down to a lower branch but made no move to leave the tree. At least it wasn't stuck or hurt. Maybe just biding its time until nightfall to leave.

We've notified the sheriff's office ... they will check on it.

Stay safe ... stay healthy.Read more
