I can't get out to shoot anymore so I was pretty excited for a topic that I had some decent photos for. These were from 2005.

My entry was a crop from this shot... not entirely sure why I didn't use this one, but here it is.

Thanks again for the votes!

Lions have always been my favorite animals since I saw the Born Free movie when I was little.
