Today was an outing treat as part of Jamie's birthday celebrations and we went to a very rainy Chester Zoo. Not much chance for photographs due to the rain, but when we reached the Cheetah's, the one animal this visit I really want to see, the sun came out and the rain stopped. Chance for a quick lens change and a few moments to just stand and wait. It was worth it and I have quite a few shots, but these two are amongst my favourites. I do have some face on shots as well, but I think these show her off much better.
Whilst there we went in to the Butterfly house. It took a while for the camera to get warm enough take any shots as it kept misting up after being out in the cold. Just as we were about to leave Jamie was a bit upset because one hadn't landed on his hand, then low and behold a glass wing landed on his finger. He was chuffed to bits.

Wonderful photos as usual, that Cheetah is regal.
Oh how amazing - that's a brilliant photo too - I would have got shaky hands in the excitement and ended up with a blurry butterfly.
Oh I love the cheetah licking her lips!
What a handsome puss!
