(Day 74) - The Lion Selfie

My mini-photographer friend, CJ went searching for an animal to photograph and found a lioness! Of course, you have to be careful when dealing with big cats. So he set up at a safe distance with his telephoto lens and snapped a shot.

As soon as he looked up, however, the lioness was in his face! Gulp! Thankfully, he wasn't on the menu...I guess lionesses love selfies! :)
Oh boy! that was a close call but glad to see the photoshoot turned out well. By the way Chris I think you could start putting all these adventures into a book!

Wow- CJ had quite an experience! I'm glad she was the friendly sort and CJ lived to post his shot on 365!

Ha ha, such a fun series of shots! I like how the grass looks like the deep grass of the savanna with these little figures.

As with most cats, they rub up against someone to 'mark' what is now theirs. CJ has great tack and courage.

@granagringa - Thanks, CJ is usually holding his camera but wanted that extra stability. The lioness likes it too!
