thank you to all for the congrats on my photo of the day. This wild lynx was curious because I was lip squeaking, and he came within 20 feet. Remember curiousity killed the cat, well, I didn't kill him but I really got him on this one. #5676920Michelle L. Frick March 22, 2008

Hi Matt -- me Donna from Cody, WYKathy L. Clark March 22, 2008
Hey Matt I just have to congratulate you and this magnificent POTD. You really made my day when I saw your description as I am from Anchorage myself, although I live in N.Alabama now, sigh.I moved up to Alaska when I was 5 in 1958 when my family homesteaded at mile 80 on the Old Glenn Highway. After that we moved to Anchorage where I lived intil 1994 when we moved down to hot country. I'd probably still be there but my husband got tired of AK winters.
Again congrats on a gorgeous shot and POTD. Have a blessed Easter.
