Leopard,
Maasai Mara, Kenya

Ok, it's back to another leopard shot from the 'green' trip. This cat had been sleeping in the tree and we waited for over an hour for it to come down and go get and drink and return. It is looking up at the tree it is about the climb.

Nikon N90s with Tamron 200-500 MF lens. Provia 100 or Sensia 100 ( I am not sure which)

Such a beautiful cat. I like the gaze upward.

Nice one Cheryl. I'm jealous of all your "green trip" backgrounds. Beautiful light and color on this.

Great series of big cat shots Cheryl, lovely to see.

This one is either very pregnant or had a really good feed the night before, no wonder it wanted to sleep!

Nice one!

I am getting very jealous of your great shots, Cheryl. Especially that I wasn't there in 1997 when everything was green.

Almost missed this one! Still love the green; curl of the tail, uplifted head and contrast of the browns and greens are all very nice.
