Description

Snow Leopard Solitary and secretive Creature of courage and survival When you reveal yourself So rare and precious In reality or in vision It is a message to Clear out the demons of the mind To embrace new life and new perceptions For you are the spirit of strength And the promise of the future. This beautiful snow leopard, Hercules, was brought to Big Cat Rescue so that the cycle of inbreeding could be controlled. Big Cat Rescue believes that no wild cat should ever be bred to live in a cage. However many are, and when the bloodlines become too inbred, the cats must be moved, to insure their survival. It is the goal of this wonderful organization to treat all the big cats with respect and caring, to give them a good life and protect their future, and to celebrate these precious gifts of nature. To learn more about Hercules and Big Cat Rescue, click here. Rescue Credits: Another in my 'Sprit Of The Wild' Series, paying tribute to the spectacular snow leopard. Created in Photoshop CS, using a photo, painting techniques, a snow overlay from Cold As Ice by Ilona/Bez, On The Edge background by Didi-Mc, and Realmz Of Ice by The_Slinger. Special thanks to Summer Rae (Summer1412) for sharing her wonderful photo of Hercules. Hope you enjoy. CC
