And in case someone has missed this - it's a LIONESS, and not a lion. Can you see the mane ???

Great shots, Shirly !!

You are in a continent of my dreams.. or for that matter, many a photo-enthusiast's dreams..

compliments,
Avi

Wonderful! Just soooo cool. Let's not see what a lioness does for fun . . . it can't be as pretty as this!

Regards,

2 felines together or someone who loves even dangerous animals? It doesn't matter, this is a picture full of life and love for animals.
I really like it a lot!
Grtz,

Alain

Hi Maxime
THank you for your comment. No, the lion was in a Reserve - was hand reared and therefore tame (to a certain degree). No Lions kept as pets here - ultimately all dangerous but this fellow was VERY lovable and it was very special to be with him.
Take care
Regards
Shirley

What a challenge dear Shirley! I have the same question you brother has asked: Is the lion in your garden? The lion sets aside very calm like a little lam! Marvellous job! Award-worthy challenge indeed!
Best regard: Maxime

Great shot, where both creatures seem to enjoy the situation. Is it your pet lion, Shirley?

As long as the lion doesn't hug back, Shirley! Good capture of the moment of both the hugger and huggee!

What a lucky lion, I wish I was him instead.
I love your image because if one day I come to your country I would like to visit him, this cute big boy.
Look at his closed eyes, INDEED he is enjoying to be hugged !
