Puma Power, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

So, you are hiking along your favorite trail, and you happen to glance up at a rocky outcrop just above you…and this is what you see.

So, what do you do?

Do you stop and pet him/her?
 
Do you run away screaming?
 
Or…
 
In my case, I aimed the camera, focused on the eye, and snapped the shutter. Gotta love the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, especially if you are a wildlife photographer who regularly totes about a 300mm lens with a 2x teleconverter! (Although I am not completely sold on the idea of such wild and wide ranging critters being held in such small spaces. But that is another, longer, conversation.)

Truth be told, I prefer making images more like these, also from the Desert Museum grounds:
