Swimming Tiger

I don't think these photographs are new, but I don't really care. I've been staring at them for the better part of the last hour. Truth is I'm lost for words. It doesn't look so much like a Bengal Tiger diving for food, as some ancient beast or mythic creature!

OMG! I've never seen those before, and they're phenomenal! I'm in absolute awe.

Aren't they just amazing!? I cannot seem to take my eyes of them, or to get over the size of those paws!

Also hat of for a very pretty and appropriate icon. hee.

It was pretty much Tiger Synchronicity Day today, because Ellen (de Generes) had a tiger cub on her show this afternoon. And they kept talking about his gorgeous big paws, too.

Holy crap! I've never seen those either. FABULOUS.

Yeah - holy crap pretty much sums them up. It's not often I can describe my reaction to something as jaw dropping, but these images made it happen.

I actually haven't seen these photos before, they had other ones on a news website (I can't seem to find the link). That tiger is just too darn cute!!

Hee. I must admit I chose the scarier Tiger photos - I just liked how he looked like a force of nature - with paws!

Hee. It's the Tiger of Wrath. It really is.

So glad you liked. I'm still amazed how the Tiger manages to be so graceful and yet so powerful while swimming. It takes my breath away - it truly does.
