Amur leopard/panther (Panthera pardus orientalis) maximum card that I created with a partner/friend from PR China


They say this subspecies is the most beautiful feline in the world. The number of breeding female Amur LEOPARDS left in the wild could be counted by the remaining fingers on the hands of some poor LEPER - only about 6.

"MOSCOW (Reuters) - Hunters in Russia's Far East have shot and killed one of the last seven surviving female Amur leopards living in the wild, WWF said on Monday, driving the species even closer to extinction."

Puma/Cougar/Mountain Lion (Puma concolor) maximum card #3 that I created with Canada Post


The stamp is a joint issue of Canada and the state commonly known as China: see People's Republic of ChinaZhōnghuá Rénmín Gònghéguó

For the state commonly known as Taiwan, see Republic of ChinaZhōnghuá Mínguó. In sports, you'll see them as Chinese Taipei. Why? Because... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Taipei

I have sent several different puma postcards to Canada Post and they applied their First Day of Issue pictorial postmark (see the Canadian and the Chinese flag).

This puma is coming right at you...I love the dynamism of this image -> a postcard that I bought here, in USA. What if this was an image cut out from a book, magazine, calendar, etc.?
It would have bothered FIP (http://www.maximaphily.info), but not me. How about you? :)

Happy Valentine Day, or Best Wishes to you even if you're not observing it!

The point is not "Are you a tough cookie?". It's "Are you a good enough cookie?"
What about the other cookies? Who's to say you're better than them?
And if you are, then who am I to deserve you?
The challenge is not to find the best cookie out there, but the one that's most suitable for you, IF we're talking  long-term relationship.
