Beautiful lepard! I wish there was a way to remove the fence because then the photos are like National Geographic photos! You did a great job!


I starteled a deer! Look at that tail!

Cats, mo matter what the size, are such magnificent creatures. Your photos are great!

Beautiful cat. It always makes me nervous when zoo animals lick their chops, watching me from the other side of the fence. :) Good thing the barrier is there, right?

Snap: What a neat shot of the leopard. I like the one when he was licking his lips thinking you were tasty.

They are fascinating to watch, aren't they - those big kitties? So graceful, sleek and well, predatory. Every move seems pre-planned, every muscle responding to the brain command. The picture of control, something I think, that fascinates humans.

He is gorgeous. I like that long tongue. I wonder if he's thinking that the people might make a tasty treat!

They are so beautiful and majestic! Great pictures!

wow, wow, and wow! what beautiful pictures capturing a beautiful animal. i seem to stay away from the zoo as of late. i think it might be seeing the majestic creatures pace back and forth in front of their cages. but, at least they are safe and being cared for & not in jeopardy due to poachers, etc.

just amazing to feel so close!

love + luck + bliss,

That's a kitty I wouldn't want to meet. Was she looking at you as a snack? Your post about butterflies
was amazing too. I love those butterfly buildings. Sounds like that
museum is a place to go...

Thanks also for your nice comments to me.
