Only Sadness
This beautiful Loin was at the Woodland Park Zoo…big cats in captivity (IMHO) always seem sad….. :^(.....poor dear ones….plus it was very cold that day…not much excitement to perk ones mood.

Shucks, Looks like he didn’t get to eat the Zoo Keeper after all. Better luck tomorrow. ha ha
It may have been a cold day, but he looks warm enough to hug. I like what you did to it, or was that the glass.
