He rests now but just wait until he's on the run, super fast, but it doesn't last and he must rest.
Isn't he just so beautiful and doesn't it make you feel humble, just co-incidence or the work of God? given unbelievable scenarios I find God the better option.

An adult cheetah rests in the grass at a Jersey zoo.
Founded on this English Channel island in 1959 by zoologist Gerald Durrell, the Jersey Trust Zoo (now called Durrell Wildlife) protects and breeds more than 100 endangered species, including birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.
Despite its somewhat remote location, some 750,000 tourists visit the facility every year.

How do you feel about animals and their many varieties? He's just a big pussy cat really but don't put it to the test.
Any comments, anyone?

Think I`m a bit late on this one as it`s now a picture of paper lanterns... but this is a great picture nevertheless.
cheetahs are beauties, especially when you see them stalking through the bush. Such slender creatures.

The Chinese lanterns were on CNN - lights on Hiroshima, the Cheetah is on National geographic, sorry about the confusion, I have put it up here. I thought the Chinese lanterns were wonderful with their midnight blue background sky and the dark and light buildings. It was a very good photograph and probably not easy to get, the Cheetah was just resting in all his magnificence.
The fastest runner in the world but not the longest.
I always want to touch these animals, perhaps there is something special about my hands, I do it with flowers, too.
It is usually Taureans who love touching things. Although Librans like silky fabrics, etc.
I've gone rather off the topic haven't I? I'll be glad when Spring is here and you put aside your monk like countenance.
I didn't expect to be back tonight so won't stay long.
This must be the longest comment you've had from me.
I'm wondering about your indecisions.
Love,

Something went wrong with this one, can't think how, I'll fix it straight up. Love your comments, Chic, do call back and look at the Cheetah, just give me an hour or two, I'll fix it ASAP and Ash must think me silly.
I generally check these things, it doesn't look like I checked this one too well.
C'est la vie.
Thanks for setting me right.
