I have many dreams, mostly ones one can hardly convey in spoken language. I want nature and peace around me, yet I do not want to relinquish digital photography. I have a Nikon D200 with a very basic lens. I had a Canon 30D too, but what a disappointment. BIO I am 55, an IT consultant and tried my hand at diamond digging, computer programming, being a network & computer technician, web designer, amateur photographer, etc. I am a man of the bush and appreciate simple things. I do photography assignments from time to time. I am privileged to live where I do, (map), a rural area in South Africa where I can hear the lions roar just 12 miles (20km) from where I live. I love this site and the artists uploading their work and I don't think any other site offers this varied depth in artistic skills. Piet

She may well look weary Piet, but I wouldn't want to try and out run her. I wouldn't want to be sat out in the bush without some serious protection either. Superb close up. Bravo!!!!!

Bravo Piet a fine shot of this old girl who still has the glow in her eyes.. You are absolutely correct about observation and she looks concerned as she calls her cubs

Awwwww poor Mama....she is a beautiful animal though and at least she wasn't hurt so bad or worse, killed, so that she can still suckle her young. excellent capture.

What a great photo of a brave mom. I hope she recovered well from her wounds. I love the way her ears and chin whiskers peek out of the inner frame.
