The Tiger

Posted by Michael (Wuppertal, Germany) on 7 May 2008 in Animal & Insect.

There once was a lady from Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger
They came back from the ride
With the lady inside
And the smile on the face of the tiger

Cute poem. I've heard it before and how fitting. This is an excellent shot of this beautiful cat. Such detail with the water droplets on his face, his whiskers and those beautiful eyes. I love cats of all kinds and sized. Meow..
