Hi all…so sticking with the ‘cats’ thing this week, which was actually unintentional, I have another leopard photograph for you today. This one I like because of the intensely orange part of the background. It is such an intense colour that you almost lose the leopard totally in the photo. Usually I wouldn’t like a photo like this when the background drowns out the subject but this one is cool because the orange captures your attention but then the leopards jumps out at you as well after that. I also think it that it is quite nice that half of the photo is in shade/shadow of the sun going down and the other half is still ‘on fire’. I love everything about these cats and this photo shows off their muscular, powerful shoulders well and their wispy tails.

Take a look and let me know what you think…I know not all of you might like this one.

Enjoy.

Hi all…so it looks it is shaping up to be a week of cats from this park (lions and leopards) which I have a lot of photographs of and would like to share with all of you. As you can imagine, when you spend as much time here as I do, you create quite a large stock of photographs like these in this week’s posts. So today’s photo is one of my all-time-favourite animals…the magnificent leopard. If I believed in reincarnation I would want to come back to life as one of these great animals. This beauty is just busy relaxing in one of the trees in the shade it is providing, out of the crazy heat during the daytime. There a lot of really good ‘leopard trees’ around the park. For those of you who don’t know what ‘leopard trees’ are: they are trees that have low, thick branches that leopards can drape themselves along comfortably. This one sure seems that it is in a very comfortable position and did not go anywhere for a while.

Take a look and let me know what you think.

Cheers till later, i think today is a good day for a double post!!
