Up the tree, no fence - face to face - Quite an exiting experience!

The couple together, I was really happy to get this shot, waited like forever for them to look the same direction.

Such lovely creatures.  Mrs A (a cat lover) adores them.  §3, §4 and §5 are exceptional.

Images 2 and 3 are my favorites, though all are good.  I really enjoy the colors and expression of the second.  The serenity of the third combined with such a powerful animal is pleasant, and the foreground bokeh really adds to the feel.
