We saw this mother cheetah and her four cubs three or four times over a four-day period in northern Kenya, often in pretty good light. This was early morning and Mom was just joining back up with her cubs after hydrating down at a river. You can see all four cubs hiding in the grass. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 1250, f/5.6 at 1/1250th of a second.
OMG! Four cubs! She sure has her hands full. The warm tones of the early light lend a soft beautiful monochromatic feel to this photo. Lovely and serene.

That’s a stellar moment & the early morning golden light is amazing.
Thanks Sue. They certainly gave us a lot of different opportunities over the four days.
I LOVE this cheetah family! They are so beautiful!
Thanks Mom. They were a highlight for sure.
I just LOVE the cheetahs! E hat a beautiful family!
Translucent.
Wow! Love the depth the grass and flowers create yet it seems abstract at the same time, like a painting!
Thanks Angelina. The light was definitely cooperating on this trip.
Sweet!
