Sunday Stamps - Cats: Argentina, Bangladesh, Hungary

 A 1959 stamp from Argentina featured a puma. Unfortunately the one in my collection was so heavily postmarked the puma could not be seen.

However thanks to the internet I have been able to find this image - 

Argentina - 1959

Somehow I don't think you would need to get the fire brigade to help it out of the tree.

A pair of stamps from Bangladesh show a magnificent tiger, but perhaps not in a colour that you would expect.

Bangladesh - 30 April 1973

There are a lot of stamps depicting domestic cats so I just had to include one even although I can't say that I am a cat lover.

Hungary - 30 March 1968

Treasured - Thematic Photography

When we visited Detroit Zoo last week I discovered many treasured animals; my photos of them will be treasured too. Here are just a few.

Giraffe at feeding station September 2013

A lot of animals were not photogenic as they persisted in presenting their backside to the camera. This treasure was worth waiting for.

Gorilla on a walk about

Up in a tree there was what look like a discarded fur.

Until it turned to face me.

Red Panda

Despite its stripes there is not much chance of it being confused with another treasure.

Tiger on the prowl

Talking of stripes these animals had them in abundance.

Female Zebra out to graze.

This fellow however wanted her to go inside. Who would argue with that horn.

Rhino on guard

But watching everyone quite closely is a treasure said to have been rescued from a junk yard in Detroit.

Lioness in charge

She gets my vote every time.
