If you're going to sleep in a tree, that's the best way to do it.

And take from seventy springs a score, / It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom / Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go / To see the cherry hung with snow.

I loved the effect of the leopard in sharp focus with the greenery a little blurred around him. Nicely done!

Whatever the photographer has done with light & focus - it's a stunning photo.

My photography is not as nearly as fine , nor is this leopard nearly as cooperative a subject but here is a fella from the Columbus Zoo in Powell, Ohio. Was a treat to see...
