Fantastic trip BH and cheetah to end off

Great stuff!! I'm assuming the cheetah is that pale smudge on the tree that's fallen over?

That would be it. Some of us don't have bazooka sized tele lenses.

Well then it's a great pic!

Good recovery FB. I recon it must have been about 4 or 500 m into the bush so seeing it was great. Trying to photgraph it near impossible so applause for Hunny who managed to get a picture at all. I daresay given her track record with that camera, if the aminal was any closer, she might have missed it completely.

And when she sees this post, I will no doubt be an inmate in wards 2 and 3 of out local hospital.

Only teasing BH!!

Photos are overrated anyway! It's the experience that counts.

For sheer audacity in posting such a pic you move to A+ in my books, BH!

I must agree.. the only cheetahs in trees I've see have been in PK area!

Thanks for a good tale, and it was very enjoyable!

Good one BH & HB. A Cheetah is a Cheetah. It's the sighting and enjoyment of it that counts.

Photos, no matter how good or how bad, will always remind you of how you felt at the time that you saw the animal. That's what really matters.
