Parched

As summer has truly set in here, the animals are having to move a lot to find water. This once large pond (or small lake) is now nothing more than a muddy puddle, but for this tigress a it will be life saving.

Those piercing eyes, imagine coming across it without protection, it sure would bring some primal fear. Posted 10 years ago

  It is heart stopping to see in real life... through the lens provides some detachment, but close up and without that protective layer of glass (albeit psychological) is a heart stopping experience! Thanks for the promotion. :) Posted 10 years ago

    Do you mean that this is in the wild and there is no protection between you and this tiger like a fence or something else? Posted 10 years ago

      All my shots are in the wild... I am sat in a door-less jeep, so there is some protection. But Tigers don't attack unless they are starving. We are not that tasty! :) Posted 10 years ago
