WordPress has now started a weekly photo challenge. Each week they will give a topic/theme for creative inspiration. Then you take and post a photograph based on your interpretation of that theme. The topics will be announced each Friday for the week. You can read more about the photo challenge here.
This week, the theme is: BOUNDARIES
Here is a picture I took at the San Diego Zoo of this leopard confined to his cage. His boundaries are imposed upon him. I wonder how many of us sometimes feel like we are boxed into our own cages, our life on display for all the world to see. I would probably react similar to this leopard, crouched and ready to pounce. How/what does this picture make you feel or think?

Is it posted in their Daily Posts blog? Or a whole new one specific to the photo challenge?

I got it as an email from WordPress…I think it should be with their daily posts

Love the photo. It’s a powerful, proud animal. Of course, the first feeling is one of sadness, to see it captured. BUT, if there were no zoos, I’d never get to see them.
The idea is great, as an addition to the daily blog. I’m going to do it.

Nice interpretation and photo!!! I haven’t been to SD Zoo in almost a decade! Maybe it’s time to go back for a visit 🙂

thank you! I have only been once, in 2006, when I took this picture. I want to go back again soon as well!

I feel rather sad for the poor guy. Not enough room to really run and have fun. Wondering why all of those odd creatures are staring at him.

Great picture! I’m uber-jealous about the San Diego Zoo, it is on my Bucket List for a place to visit before I die. Looking forward to sharing pictures each week with you.
Blessings!

It is a beautiful animal. I guess it is sad that he is caged, but people kill them for sport out in the wild. My pictures are up for the challenge.
