a tale of two tails

On my recent visit to Marwell Zoo to see Kanika, the Amur leopard cub, I found that she is now able to climb up on to this platform with her mum. Her tail still has a way to go though!

My Fuji X20 turns on and off with the lens barrel so most of my shots with the end of the lens pressed up against the glass of the enclosure (to eliminate reflections) had 'whirry' bits in the photos as the lens started to retract. This was the only presentable shot.
Fantastic photograph of beautiful creatures. They look so content together

Great perspective. I guess the lens turning the camera off is one thing you won't miss when you get your new camera :)

How good of them to pose so neatly! Nice capture Hazel.

Actually, Kane, dithering me, I'm now having second thoughts about that new camera!!
I'm not too bothered abut the lens turning off in this situation. I was more surprised than anything until I realised what was going on!

A great job of shooting through the glass. They sure are beautiful and you captured so much detail. So, still thinking about a new camera? FAV

Well, actually Darlene, you are right. I've put thoughts of a new camera to the back of my mind - perhaps my dream camera - like the Fuji X20 I already have but with a bigger zoom - is just around the corner! But I think I've got the hang of this FZ62 at last! Thanks for all your comments and generous favs.
