Description
Hello all!
I heard these baby snowleopards cubs (two brothers) were just this week OUTside to see for the first time ... finally moved outside to be with Mama!! So dropped everything and hopped in my car -after I dropped the girls off from school-..ignoring the pile of laundry an housework completely -- lol!!..
When I got to the exhibit I was disappointed that with the thick grate fence that made it almost impossible to get a decent shot. So I took my little pocket cam, climbed thru the pine trees and bushes and got up real real close. As I stuck my little camera thru the little rectangular fence, I was aware of the fact that I could be scolded or kicked out. I didn't care. I wanted the shot more than anything . I had to get it. Just as I went up to the two little snow leopard babies, they curiously climbed from the higher place down toward me and growled- grrrr ( cute higher pitched cattish growl hehe )I was only a few feet away . This one little baby you see backed up here and then settled nicely on a comfy rock . He looked up with the sweetest expression.
I could hear the lady behind me saying "CHRISTMAS CARD" !!!LOL!!
I felt lucky to get the little guy nestled in a cozy spot only a few feet away to get this shot.!
I have many more of the two brother snow leopards and will probably be posting more. What an exciting day!! They were so playful cute and darling as it gets to see.
This was taken with the nikon 7900 pocket cam on macro mode 2 feet away ...! -
* please view at full size to see it best!!
Hope you enjoy this little baby here ..:O)
Thank you for all your time and comments!
Love to you all!
((( BIG HUGS )))

What a fabulous shot! Glad you didn't get scolded for getting so close, but it was certainly worth the effort. What a precious shot, so precocious and gentle. Can't wait to see the others!

Kimmie! What a darling picture with every single strand in his fur so clear and almost within reach. I want to pat him - how frustrating!!! I, for one, would love to see more of this kitty. :-)

"You go girl" LOL Your enthusiasm has paid off again. You couldn't have asked for better lighting and dark background to bring out a sharp clear pic! Congradulations! Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad he and his brother came down closer so you could get such great shots of them. I'm really looking forward to the rest. :) What a cutie.

An idyllic capture there, Kimmiepooh! Great big innocent eyes on that baby feline, and dig those paws and whiskers! What was it doing out of the snow? Was there any way you could have snatched it and brought it home as a pet?

Oh my gosh, I'm melting...yup, I'm just a puddle here from the absolute cuteness! Those eyes...just look at those eyes. I dare anyone to view this pic and not have a lopsided, joyful grin on their face from ear to ear. This is perfectly adorable and definitely worth all your effort. Splendid and delightful capture.
