Last weekend there was a special photo day at the zoo.
The zoo opened early for about 150 folks with their cameras and
umbrellas in hand. It rained (lightly, thankfully) most of the morning.
Under the umbrella, the first animals we came across
were the cheetahs.
They seemed to love the light rain.
They have become real favorites at the zoo.
Wonderful captures of the Cheetah. Thanks for sharing your zoo visit and your camera critter.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful face, indeed!
ReplyDeleteSuch stunning make-up! Lovely photos - thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow indeed, you captured the fastest cat on earth wonderfully:)
ReplyDeleteI love the zoo!
ReplyDeleteI played too :)
Thanks for sharing! The light rain worked in your favor, I think, by giving soft light for photography.
ReplyDeleteI think if it wasn't such a ferocious animal, the cheetah would be magnificent!! I respect their speed, stealth and their natural beauty...but I prefer having them in the zoo...make me feel a littler safer (mind you, I don't live in the jungle....lol!!).
ReplyDeleteQuite a face all right! Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOur human loved these photos but we're not sure what we'd do if we came across this fellow, we think we'd be a bit nervous! Great CC! Schnauzer snuggles - JD and Max.
ReplyDeleteRocky is adorable. How great you can keep memories.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great thing for the zoo to do.
ReplyDeleteNice shots!
The last one is my favorite but the profile shot is nice too!

Great photos! Cheetahs markings always remind me of tear trails along the sides of their noses!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, the last one is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteOh, snap, he is beautiful! How lucky you were to get so close and to have him be so alert for you. Great pictures!
ReplyDeletemichelle :)
Wow! These are great. Our cheetahs hardly ever come out at our zoo.
ReplyDeleteHi Snap, Looks like you had a wonderful time at the zoo. I had some fun times there --taking the grands. Your pictures are gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
Those look like some very big kitties!!
ReplyDeleteYou've taken some great photos, what a beautiful animal. Thank you for sharing him.
ReplyDeleteOh sure! That's one thing I love with cheetahs, their lines on the face, looks like it was painted.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.
They are such gorgeous animals....and fast, too.
ReplyDeletewonderfully captured!

Great capture of his alert, inquisitive expression!
ReplyDeleteSnap: That is a beautiful animal for certain.
ReplyDeleteBeauties! And I'm glad you gave us the more common name for that plant with the stunning red flowers, I wasn't even going to attempt to pronounce the latin-looking name.
