Up close with a Snow Leopard

Up close with a Snow Leopard
A photo from my archives, taken on 28 September 2012 at the Calgary Zoo. You can just manage to get a zoomed shot that can be sharp in the centre but somewhat blurred at either side, because you can't avoid the bars of the metal enclosure. There is a double fence, so you can't place your camera lens through the gaps. These Snow Leopards are such magnificent animals - absolutely love the colour of their eyes. It is an ENDANGERED species, so hopefully we don't lose them forever. (Took me three and a half hours to eventually get these three photos to upload this evening ... sigh).

LeapFrog, have particularly liked this photo

These days, the extinction of anything in the wild is a concern, but really, not too many people know this is happening nor care ... the sad refection of what is and is not important to us all!! A terrific shot of what once is and maybe of what once was!! :((
