Shenandoah offers some great opportunities to see wildlife, especially deer and bears, but this fall I also had an opportunity to capture some quality images of one its most elusive creatures, a bobcat. On top of this there were some splendid evenings with the milky way, lunar eclipses and pockets of great fall foliage.
