I was trying my brother in law 55-200 mm lens in Chicago and then got him. Sitting, reading while holding his kitten.
As we continue our themed roadtrip on the two lane blacktops of America's West, The Road Less Traveled Tour, we have close encounters with mustangs, Cherokees, splatter cones and lunar landscapes. Then Lucy steals a rawhide chew toy from T. Boone Pickens' dog.

There is a beginning to ever journey. Where will your decisions take you?
LEOPARD(Leo pardus)
The Leopard is smaller than the Tiger and far more lithe and active.
Leopards are also good climbers. Less restricted in habitat than the Tiger, they occur over most of Asia as far north as southern Siberia, but are unknown from High Tibet. They often live near villages where they can prey upon the domestic stock.
The Asiatic Leopard differs from the African Leopards in only minor characteristics. On the Malay Peninsula and in certain parts of India, black leopards occur. These are not a separate species, as is often believed, but melanistic forms of the common leopard, which may bear black cubs in the same litter with spotted young. Throughout much of India the Leopard is known as the Panther.
ENVIRONMENT OF LEOPARD
The scene portrays a clearing around a nullah, or brook bed, in a forest in the Kallegal Range, Mysore, India. The more prominent plants are:
1. Conspicuous with its buttressed trunk, the semul, or silk-cotton tree (Bombax ceiba), is quite common in India. The name refers to the floss surrounding the seeds, sometimes used for stuffing pillows and mattresses. Seeds of an allied species in tropical America yield kapok fiber, familiar as the filling in life preservers. The extraordinary baobab tree of Africa is another close relative.
2. The cinnamon tree (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), in the family Lauraceae, grows only in eastern Asia. From its bark the spice cinnamon is produced, chiefly in Sri Lanka. The stripped bark rolls inward as it dries, forming the familiar cinnamon sticks. Bark scrapings and leaves yield cinnamon oil for perfumery. The wood of another species, Cinnamomum camphora, yields camphor.
3. High on the cinnamon tree, the yellow-flowered orchid Dendrobium heterocarpum lives epiphytically on the trunk. This genus of orchids is now grown throughout the world.
4. Behind the semul trunk, the seedling tree Actinodaphne sp., with whorls of leaves, is also in the Lauraceae, a family well represented in tropical Asia. Its timber is valuable for boat-building.
5. Another member of the Lauraceae, Litsea sp., known locally as the moray, stands to the right. The condiment sambal is derived from fruits of some species. The leaves and bark are medicinal.
6. Although it resembles the false hellebore, the plant directly behind the standing leopard is actually an orchid, Calanthe veratrifolia.
7. The trunk of the large tree on the painted background has been enmeshed by a tropical fig, Ficus sp. In vinelike growth, these figs encircle other trees with aerial roots, eventually strangling the host tree as the roots thicken and interweave. Some of these roots may grow to the ground and reach trunklike proportions. The rubber tree (Ficus elastica), a popular house plant, is one of these species.
8. The Peafowl (Pavo cristatus) shown in the group is the largest member of the Pheasant family.
