Seven photos. When I hiking yesterday in Tennessee Valley in the Marin headlands, I had a close encounter with a hungry bobcat. Sequence of photos Photo 1: Something has caught his attention. Photo 2: He turns. Photo 3: Stalking prey. Photo 4--He caught the rodent and ate it Photo 5: Bobcat licking its lips, with its little red tongue, Photos 6 and 7 : returning to the wild!

The only Arctostaphylos Patula I've ever found west of the cascade crest. It's still doing well because the area burned, and it gets good light and has no competition from other vegetation. Growing on a south facing slope.

About where I saw nudies last year near the start of the Sylvan Trail, not knowing I was seeing something unusual- or at least not plain vanilla Pacific Snakeroot! Yesterday 2/15/24 I saw many plants along this stretch of trail up to culvert SY2. Apparently there are more farther on, plus I bet in lots of places at Edgewood! And elsewhere. Once you know what to look for they are semi-obvious. The additional long hair things (trichomes), lighter brighter color- similar to the miner's lettuce leafing out, softer fluffier leaf texture, more lobes?
