A magnificent male lion from the Kalahari strolls along on his morning patrol. This handsome guy is the new macdaddy around the area of 13th borehole in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, and he provided us with some great sightings on our December 2014 safari. I have just returned from that special place again but this magnificent beast evaded my lens this time around.

A prosperous New Year to all of you!

Divine light... the raised paw and the eyes makes this a splendid capture.

Good sense of movement with the raised paw and great perspective to catch the light in those wonderful tawny eyes! A lovely image of this handsome male Morkel.

Perfect light to accentuate this stunning guy! Catching him mid stride is a nice touch too. Great image Morkel!

The light in the eyes and on the face draw you right in and make this one a special image.

Beautiful light. I also like the left front paw raised.
