In quiet moments, I recall the long tail and confident slow movement of the cat. A friend and I were driving out on Macaulay near West Bear Creek when directly in front of us on the side of the road softly striding along was a sleek tawny skinned wonder of nature, a large cougar. We followed slowly behind it in silent awe for a km before it quietly blended into the woods. Sometimes a moment of wonder can give you a special memory for life
