Wow, how did you take the close-up of this cat? You are brave Carol! I would run away if I see a mountain lion. LOL. Wonderful clarity and great framing! #7478168

Hi Alex and Kim! Thanks so much for your comments. : ) Glad you enjoyed this. He was a beautiful cat.

LOL Alex. I would have run away too if there hadn't been a big cage in between me and him. The hard part about the pictures was trying to get rid of the fence lines. I was close to the fence so it was blurred out, but I still had to do some adjusting to get rid of it. I cropped this in real close so I didn't have to get rid of some of the lines that were a little harder to adjust for. #7478170

Hi Judy, Walter, Julianne, and Laura. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on this. I love the big cats. They are so beautiful -- glad there was a fence between me and him, however. #7514580
