Cleaning time — Patagonia, Chile 🇨🇱
.

Here are a few more shots of Rupestre cleaning her cubs while they relax together after a meal. As you can see here, the color of their fur is a perfect match for the grassland tundra that blankets vast tracts of the Patagonia landscape.

This was another incredibly intimate moment that we shared with a remarkable puma family last year. However I have to admit that I was a bit disappointed during my evening photo review when I realized that there were Unfortunate Blades of Grass (U.B.oG.) throughout many my favorite frames. Can you spot them? It’s always a challenge to see these in the viewfinder and reframe in the moment, especially with the wind blowing and sweat in my eyes. And that’s why one of my mantras when photographing is to take more shots than I think I’ll need. There’s a ton of luck involved in creating an ideal wildlife image — so it’s always better to keep shooting and increase my chances of landing a winner. 🍀
