What's up, bobcat?

Sunday was a beautiful day to go for a hike in the Santa Monica Mountains up Sycamore Canyon. Here, the main path is a wide fire trail, shared with horses and bikers.
There was a wildfire approximately 16 years ago which wiped out most of the vegetation in this canyon. You can see how the fire burnt this oak.

The highlight of our hike: we spied a bobcat resting on a tree trunk next to the main fire trail road.
