Up a tree in the snow

A young giant panda climbs a tree in a snow storm, Sichuan, China (best larger)

It only snows around once of twice a year in this area, so I had a rare opportunity to photograph pandas in the snow!

This is my daily from a couple of days ago that I couldn't post due to a very slow internet connection<br />

I was told that it is rare to have snow in this region, so we were lucky to get some snow shots with the pandas.<br />

I've been neglecting my panda photos lately, so am posting a few of them today.  More photos of these cute creatures can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/OtSv5y">http://goo.gl/OtSv5y</a><br />

It was thrilling to see a large adult up close.  They are not aggressive, and are more concerned with eating than anything else.  I cut a few pieces of bamboo from a nearby grove and threw them to him/her just after taking this shot, and he/she proceeded to settled down and eat the bamboo, allowing me to get several more shots (for posting another day).<br />
<br />
If you aren't getting tired of cute panda shots, I have posted more here, including some close-ups: <a href="http://goo.gl/G3uO0J">http://goo.gl/G3uO0J</a><br />

    Wonderful shot! I'm surprised it snows so seldom here. I'd imagined it snowing all the time.
