Puma Crouching on Boulder Late Summer Ridge in on a wind-scoured ridge in Massachusetts

Puma Crouching on Boulder Late Summer Ridge

by Oliver Murray

Soft, overcast light washes the wind-scoured ridge in Massachusetts, revealing a tawny puma crouched low on a gray granite boulder. The animal's fur shows subtle variations in gold and brown, matted slightly where wind has pressed it flat against the stone. Flakes of snow drift gently through the air, a rare anomaly against the late summer greenery of distant ferns and low shrubs. The boulder's surface is rough and pitted, holding small pockets of moisture that catch the diffuse light. Behind the feline, the background dissolves into a blur of muted greens and grays, showing the creature's stillness. One snowflake rests momentarily on the tip of a nearby pine needle, sharp and white against the dark green.
