plessner Loc: North Dakota

The first part of the trip we saw only a few lions in the distance, but when we got to the safari we saw them usually early in the mornings. Will show here some of the females and cubs-so cute.

thanks it really was wonderful to see and experience all these creatures in their natural habitat.
you can kind of tell by the lighting that these were taken on different mornings. One of the groups with cubs we located right behind our camp behind the bushes. The camp workers saw them walk through camp [right beside my tent] later in the afternoon while we were out.

Nice shots. The cubs are so cute. They make you want to pick them up and cuddle them. Not a good idea. You would probably only do it once as mama would take exception.

Katherine, you are a gifted photographer! These images are nothing less that amazing and beautiful! I love the yawn and the cubs especially.

thanks Sue,you are too kind but I feel I owe much to the guides who really got us where we needed to be for these shots. They are also photographers and knew what light and where to be was the best
