Firstly, apologies to those of you who posted replies to my leopard cub. Shortly after posting it I was then off for a week, hence no replies back from me. So thank you again.

This little fellow was taken at the Livingstone hotel right on the river where we were staying. A very checky chappie. Sadly I was looking only at his face and pose, other people have now see more :jump:

DC this was one that got through on the Shell Awards this year, but then stopped :frown:

Masses of cute appeal and love the way he's got his paw in front of his mouth. The sunlit area of the background is great too. :toast:
