The masterful @Anthony Gitauhad brought me to Samburu with this sighting in mind.

 

It was the first Panthera pardus I'd ever observed or photographed. A joy then and a joy to remember now.

A beautiful portrait indeed!

[Soukous]

with no opportunity to take new pictures of Africa I have resorted to going through my old ones and taking a fresh look. 

 

Here are some lovely leopards from South Luangwa

~ @Soukous:

 

All of your South Luangwa leopards are superb

 

The night image is a lesson in clear photography in low lighting.

 

I'd hope to someday approach such image clarity after dark...with such an obliging subject.

 

Thank you for posting these.

This image is from a series during an extended observation beside a small waterhole shaded by a tree.

 

We were blessed when the leopard walked on the tree branch in our direction before leisurely strolling away.

Young female Leopard near North Gate, Moremi, August 2022.

Quite fun, she had been charging around after a Squirrel. Not realising the Squirrel had left the tree ages before!

Beautiful @Whyone? and @AndrewB
