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.

Fossils in the rock set next to the path.

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