Description

Compare this "white" lion male with the Barbary lion and note the difference in coloration between male and female. They have cubs hidden in the bush nearby, hence their vigilance: male at full alert and the female with her ears slightly drawn backwards - if you are bush wise in Africa, it means "beware!".

Tomorrow I plan to ulpoad a photo of the couple standing guard near the bush where the cubs were hidden. The photo was captured on a farm Bona Bona where I live.

It is still a bit early, but to all the American friends, happy Thanksgiving tomorrow:" O give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever." Ps 136:26

Lastly: Thanks to all the Renderosity friends for your support during trialing times. You love and kindness unequalled. If I failed to respond to all kind messages in person, please forgive me and accept my gratitude.

We just arrived home from a Thanksgiving visit with my parents. This is one of the most enjoyable photos of lions I think I have ever seen. Such calm magesty. I couldn't help but be reminded of "the Lion of the tribe of Judah." Well done.
