Afterwork: Levels, sharpen, color balance.

Sleeping Lyca lay
While the beasts of prey,
Come from caverns deep,
View'd the maid asleep.

The kingly lion stood
And the virgin view'd,
Then he gamboll'd round
O'er the hollow'd ground.

Leopards, tygers, play
Round her as she lay,
While the lion old
Bow'd his mane of gold..... William Blake - Little Girl Lost

So, today I spent the morning at the EFRC. What is the EFRC you ask? It is the Exotic Feline Rescue Center in the southern part of my state.

For those of you that have me on watch you've read my praise of Wolf Park and the conservation work that they do with wild canids.

While, the EFRC do not participate in any breeding programs, they do find and rescue those wild animals that Zoos, Circuses, and misguided people purchase. They take the time to go in and rescue these animals from oftentimes horrifyingly bad situations and rehabilitate them at their facility.

They do not know the animals from birth as Wolf Park interns and staff do, nor do they enter the enclosures for the purpose of socializing the big cats. What they do, do is care for and nurse back to health some 185 exotic felines.

They could use as much support as people would care to give. If you'd like to contribute follow the link below to their website to find out more.

It was hot as hell today, but you know I didn't even notice. Not with mountain lions, lynx, tigers(White and regular), lions, leopards, cheetahs, and panthers to watch and marvel over.

Very nice. Hope someday to be able to photograph animals, though it's in the zoo. A trip to Africa is out of my budget.

That is really unbelievable that you get to work with big cats like that! I've always, ever since I was a little kid, wanted to be able to work with big cats, like that, and learn the different life style's of their nature. You should be truely greatful that you have such an amazing job. The photo and poem on the other hand is a different story. Its a very wonderful poem to go with the pic. When you look at the picture, it almost makes you feel like your one of the other cats playing around tge lion just the way his eye's are set. Great job!

If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin

I 've wanted to be a big cat before. But you know, some of the horrors these animals went through before they came to the Center...I'm not sure I would have survived. Thanks for the support. :)

Africa scares me though it's right down South (I live in Spain).
