Description The three cheetah sisters never miss a chance to demonstrate affection to each other while lounging in their large compound at the Kansas City Zoo, Kansas City, Mo. I have never observed three creatures that are so constantly affectionate physically. That is my most salient conclusion after watching them hour after hour. There is a description of love in it.

They put me in mind of my two brother cats! They are constantly licking each other and cuddled up sleeping. They are just a heck of a lot smaller!
Great shot!!

I was hoping you would like it. The high key rendering was forced by the light, which was contrasty and harsh. But it works well enough to make the image work. As Mel points out, the cat is thinking nothing but love. Now, how to sell that idea to the world?

Only a "description" of love? What is "love" if not a deep affection?

Nothing more. That is the simplified point of it. These cheetahs are teaching something of great value, and now I realize it. My desire shifts to wanting to record their moments of affection. I want to get a 2x magnifier for the lens, and spend more time at the zoo. They will not be there for ever, and the record of if will be something we all need. You are one who understands this.
