That is one beautiful looking kitty. I bet nobody will go up the tree to rescue him lol.
super shots Steve, I wish I could get shots like that.
Wow Steve. These are amazing shots of this beautiful animal. The lighting is just magnificent. It really makes the shot. Fine work.

Great shot (and light). But you are such a "mean" photographer. You woke up the poor kitty and ruined his nap!
Great shots, thanks for sharing.
Fantastic shot. Better than Milan.
Bet the fire department didn't try to rescue him. Great shots.
Very nice shots. Wonderful. Cheers.
Nice Steve you do get around

Leopards are often attacked and killed by lions, so they tend to hang out and sleep in high spots - including trees. It was always exciting and not unusual to see a leopard sleeping in a tree. They also often drag their kill into a tree - I have one photo of a large impala (one of the antelopes of the region) hanging about fifty feet up in a tree! It was very exciting, though, to see this wide-awake kitty up in a tree - especially since the late afternoon sun was illuminating him in such a fantastic light.
