“The Phantom in the Snow”

Description from Elis Mom: I was sitting down with a client who happened to be looking at Smithsonian Magazine. The article he was looking at was about the ever elusive Lynx, AKA, "the phantom". The cat was so beautiful, as were the snow covered mountains in which he rules during winter. I was moved by the beauty. Turns out my client is quite the outdoorsman, and very familiar with certain wildlife. It reminded me that no matter what the work is ahead of us, we need to slow down and connect with the people we are with at the moment.

Kitty Chicky Cat says:Gorgeous pick!! I love Lynx too (surprise, surprise!) though I thought Snow Leopards were the “snow ghosts”! The local people who live near them believe they are sacred spirits (I think) and leave them alone unless they bother their herds. There is something ethereal, beautiful, and magical about all cats and you’ve captured that well here in a winter wonderland setting! Favorite!!
