I waited.

And, I waited.

There's a cat out our local zoo that goes crazy whenever my sister walks past. It stalks her and tries to take swats at her through the fence as it howls and hisses. It ignores everyone else that passes by. I have yet to be able to explain this behavior...

It's a cheetah, right? Your patience was rewarded. Such a pretty face.

What a look of concentration on that face!

I'd love to watch these in the wild - we have some at a local zoo - magnificent creatures.

Sorry for slow delay, I've been away from home.

PS: you may be glad to know that the tourism police have dropped the changes against me - but they claim they will keep my site under observation!

Nice shot! I love the quiet look of reflection on its face - makes me wonder that he/she is thinking!

Margaret said...

and you had your zoom on and NO tripod (I'm assuming) Very nice work and nice focus through the chain link fence to boot!
