Sweet Fiona relaxing on a ledge early morning on New Years Day.
The challenge was the fencing, and cellphone "Photographers"
I need to be a few feet away from the fencing in order to force my lens to shoot beyond the chain links. But I had to wait for heads to get out of my view. It took 15 minutes to get the right settings and find the right spot to stand in.
Once I did... This is one of the many shots I captured. Fiona responds to me when I call her name and speak to her. So there will be more photos of her I will be posting.

Fiona's story :
This is a 7 year old female Jaguar named Fiona. She was only a few days old when she was found clinging to life back in October of 2014. She was attacked by hunting dogs. Her mother was killed by poachers so Fiona was unable to survive in the wild. She was raised by Biologists at a wildlife rehab in Panama. Jaguar of Palm Beach and its corporate sponsors brought her here from the Gamboa Rainforest to my Local zoo in Palm Beach.
