In His Sights

A trip to the zoo with a friend today yielded more pictures than I can post. It was hard to choose but this lion that had just finished taking a drink won out in the end. He was so beautiful and majestic. I could see a difference in him from the ones I saw living in the wild in Africa.

Great capture, he is looking straight down the lens at you!

[Kathy Burzynski]

Oh this is really nice - looks like he is looking for dinner

[Tunia McClure]

Majestic is the right word.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I'm sure this one is a little better fed than his "relatives" in the wild. Great shot.

[Simply Amanda]

Great POV!

@homeschoolmom @sarasotab @tahoemb @onewing @judithdeacon @myhrhelper @tunia @olivetreeann @alophoto @leananiemand @henrir Thanks for all you comments and FAVs for this one. I am so glad you like it. He WAS looking right at me when I took the shot and I hope he wasn't thinking Dinner! You are probably right Ann which made me think perhaps liviing in a zoo does have an up side

He might be a bit older than the ones in the wild which have such a hard life, they don't survive to get old!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

That's a glorious capture! A beautiful creature and being quite the helpful model!

@maggiemae i'm not sure about his age but I do know his coat and everything else about him looks far healthier than the ones I saw in Africa.
@ruthmouch thanks bunches. I thought he was beautiful as well but I waited a long time for him to look up from his drink so I'm not sure about the helpful part

[Chris Johnson]

That intense stare. Nothing gonna frighten this king. Wonderful photo.

@cjphoto Thanks Chris. I don't know anyone who would challenge him for sure!
