So I thought I would celebrate my 5000th post with one of my favorite images of one of my favorite subjects from my most recent trip to Africa, the mother leopard. Hard to believe that before this trip I was bemoaning the fact that I had no good images of leopards in trees. Well, Patrick and Albert, the Ranger and Tracker at Kings Camp in the Timbavati Game Reserve, and the leopards delivered in spades. This was as the mom was coming down from where the kill was in the tree.
And a big thank you to the BPN Community, especially the regulars on the Wildlife Forum and our intrepid moderators, for all the time, patience and skill they have so readily shared. As I have said in the past, BPN has done more for my photography and pp than any other single source.
