If you look closely, you can see a leopard resting in that fallen tree — the sun just about to set directly below her. As soon as the sun did set, she set off on a night of hunting. We saw her and her grown cub a few more times over the next few days and I was able to photograph both of them in a number of settings.

Thanks Tom. Her cub was at that stage where he was spending time on his own (about one year old) and was down in the grass somewhere, but she was still doing all the hunting.

The leopard with the setting sun is so beautiful and a reason we should support our wildlife funds.

She certainly blends in well. Very nice picture.

Beautiful image. Nice to see them in a natural setting!
I enjoy these images and also look forward to Peter’s prose every day.
Thanks Karen. And yes, Peter has shown that no image should be without a bit of poetry.
Love this image, Sean!
