My challenge for this assignment was to find and photograph an animal that I have never before seen --- a lynx. Today, I hit the jackpot. Saw a Mom and two kittens, and had about 90 seconds to take a family portrait. It was quite a thrill, and a huge honour to be able to spend a brief moment with these gorgeous cats.
