This is the first time in over 40 years that I’ve managed to get a half-way decent picture of the leopards at Brookfield Zoo. Just in the right place at the right time the other day.




I’m pretty sure, if you zoom in on the next picture, you can see a reflection of me, leaning against the fence, in his eyes. Possibly sizing me up as the next meal.


How you took those snaps..
Incredible and amazing👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, Athira! The zoom lens really helped to blur out the fencing.

Beautiful series, Sue…very good details!!
Thanks, Indira! I don’t think I’ve ever seen them up this close before.
‘Awesome’ is not a word used frequently around here but it’s the only word that springs to mind when I saw these wonderful photos. They are truly amazing.
Thank you, Marianne! I was really lucky to be there at just the right time. They were quite active that day and, thanks to a long lens which helped to blow out the fencing in between us, the images turned out pretty clear.
Wonderful shots!
Thank you! It was such a pleasure to watch these beautiful creatures. They’re so graceful.
New pet? 🙂
Beautiful and excellent photos. Thanks for sharing
I wish! Thank you for stopping by.
A lovely set of pictures.
Thanks, Tom! I have to admit, I was really pleased with these.
Rightly so.
I love the crossed paws photo, Sue. 🙂
Thanks, Tracy! That’s probably my favorite. He was extremely cooperative, staying as long as he did in that one place. It gave me the opportunity to take lots of pictures.
Excellent shots, Sue!
Thank you, Jyothi. Early morning seems to be a good time for catching these beauties in action.
Yes ..I agree
