Family Pride

Another shot from SD Wild Animal Park. The sign says the lions sleep 20 hours a day. Guess we got lucky. Pops a little when viewed on black.
OMG -- Another incredibly awesome shot of these guys. Why didn't you tell us you were down here at the Safari Park....... and come by? We're eight miles from there.... and can hear the gibbons screeching on a calm evening.... We're that close. Another FAV. (I've got to start running over there now and then for photos. I don't know why I don't. We do have annual memberships!!)

Now you're making me want to make the trek to WAP....and, unlike Anita @aglennc it's quite a drive for us! This is a great capture of these beautiful animals! Of course, they sleep 20 hours a day....what did you expect, they are just BIG cats!! ;-)))
October 8th, 2015  
A fabulous shot and they are even smiling for the camera. Maybe they are thinking 'lunch'

Wonderful pic!

@panthora When Louise and Ken return let's get a photo shoot at Safari Park....
October 8th, 2015  
@aglennc Yes, that is definitely on the agenda! I cannot imagine anyone enjoying that more than Louise @Weezilou !!
October 8th, 2015  
@panthora I can see her now!! @Weezilou We're waiting for you two to return, you know!!
October 8th, 2015  
quite proud of you to get this shot! :-)
October 8th, 2015  
@aglennc @panthora Anita, this is a GORGEOUS photo!!! As it's after midnight, I was going to steel myself against writing any notes and just get "one" photo posted...well, look how well THAT worked! I can't resist a good "cat photo" and the bigger they are, the better! Thanks for thinking of me (and Ken). We'll certainly be looking for gatherings when we return! Can't wait to see you all again!
October 9th, 2015  
whoops! See why I shouldn't have been writing notes at this late hour?!!! I see the girls writing to me and break my promise to ignore everything tonight...answer...and wonder why, next, Anita has a photo of Homer Simpson amongst the eggs!

Hello, Ron!

Yes, I was delighted to see you're in town for a minute and that you dropped me some notes. You're really missing something pretty special by not being up here! I've got dozens of gorgeous photo and I'm stuck to select just one! Am going with my intuition and must get this up and get some rest.

I'll be hack in the human (rat) race eventually!

Did I say I love the photo?!!! (OMG, RON! Trending AND Popular! Jackpot! You must come home more often!)
October 9th, 2015  
Spot on with the focus here Ron. Great shot
October 9th, 2015  
Wonder how it would have looked if you had cropped it just the male's head Ron
October 9th, 2015  
terrific!
October 9th, 2015  
Are you serious? These guys really sleep that much in a day? Oh, the life of a cat. Good timing on your part, catching them all wide awake like this. That big guy is an impressive beast.
October 9th, 2015  
Wow, wow! How ever did I miss this? They look so powerful, what a wonderful picture!
October 9th, 2015  
How fortunate to find them all awake. The big one looks like he's posing for you.
October 10th, 2015  
What a great shot of all three of them together!! Awesome!
October 10th, 2015  
@aglennc Yeah, get over there Anita! Great time of year - weekdays anyway.
October 12th, 2015  
@panthora Hey, now. If you can run to San Clemente, you can surely run to WAP. It's really worth it!
October 12th, 2015  
@onewing Ha, ha, yeah, I got a little worried when the male started licking his chops. :-)
October 12th, 2015  
@photographycrazy @tracie8266 @summerfield @kauaikris @clake @cjphoto Thanks all for the kind comments! Definitely got lucky to capture them during the rare waking hours.
October 12th, 2015  
@joysfocus Thanks Joy - glad we went back by to check on them. Appreciate the fav!
October 12th, 2015  
@simta Спасибо Татьяна. Я не уверен, если он был голоден или счастливым!
October 12th, 2015  
@Weezilou Wait, your clue was Homer Simpson? I have to admit to being a little confused by your initial response. Were you pounding down the Canadian Mist that night? ;-) Glad you got it figured out - and yeah, a thrill to get PP and TP! You're gonna love it there!
October 12th, 2015  
@terryliv Thanks, Poppo. I gave some thought to cropping the big boy, but decided that I couldn't improve on the version posted by @joysfocus . Here's a link to hers: http://365project.org/joysfocus/year-2/2015-10-04

@lyndemc Boy, wouldn't it be nice to sleep 20 hours a day? And they don't even have to go out a hunt down an impala! Oh, to be a lion in San Diego.
October 12th, 2015  
@stray_shooter Yes, gotta do.....l when all the school kids are in school!
