Default Tiger taking it easy in the pool.

Hey all. Had the chance to go to the zoo last evening and the animals were most cooperative. Think these tiger shots were the best of the day. Will share the others later or check them out on my flickr page. Hope you all enjoy and have a great day.

Just love the eye contact in the first one and the reflections in the water on the last two are really neat. Nice job... Checked out your other photos and looks like you had a nice day at the zoo.

Thanks Hayward. Always nice to hear from you. Just lucky that this tiger walked right up by us and laid down to cool off while we were standing there. Certainly helps when they cooperate.

Love that first shot, it almost looks like he posed for you. Well done!

Going up to the mid 90s here today. A refreshing dip would be great. I like the second shot of the tiger looking off in the distance. Nice set.
