Hi all…Friday is here again! This is very good news for most of us. In traditional Friday fashion I have another black and white photograph to share with you all today. It is one of my favourite subject again at the moment-the leopard. This image pretty much epitomizes what I wish I could be doing the whole weekend. There is just something about the way its body is draped over the branch that seems like pure relaxation. In a tree, the leopard knows that is not as vulnerable as if it was on the ground and can therefore afford to unwind a little bit. The chin resting on another little branch as if it was a pillow and the tail completely flopped down behind the thick branch – *sigh*, I want to be this leopard right now. Still not 100% trusting of me, it still has its eyes on me, even if it is through slits.
Take a look and let me know what you think…
I hope that your weekends allow you all to have some relaxing time like this leopard in the tree. Enjoy it and cheers til Monday!
Such a great pic!! Going to the Kgalagadi in April. Can’t wait!!! Where was this pic taken, is it the female in the Twee Rivieren area?
Hi Janine, no this is not that female everyone is use to, this is one more in the north. She is actually still a young one, about 12 months old.
Best regards!
