Prey · ^-^

I've had a nice run of photo sessions the last few trips to the zoo and been fortunate to get a number of priceless lion shots which I've updated on my FA gallery.  Here's a sneak peek:

"One Very Bored Lion"


"A Little Lion Foreplay"


"Face-to-Face with a Lioness"

And one of my all-time favorites...


"Mesmerized"

This last shot is a great example of why I love Seattle's Award-winning Woodland Park Zoo, and the lion exhibit in particular.

Not only is it an enormous space, but guests have the opportunity to get literally two feet away from these amazing animals.

Here, beautiful nine-year-old South African lioness Kalisa stares directly at a young girl, no more than five or six years old, who is just standing there in awe. I absolutely love the look on Kalisa's face, her expression seems to be one of compassion and understanding, as if she somehow knows she is looking at a small and defenseless human.

This girl will remember that moment for the rest of her life!

Also featured in this update besides lions are otters and a cute ocelot kitten - Check out my FA photography gallery here!

And just as an FYI I'm selling professional prints (8.5 x 11) of any of the art in my gallery for just $10 including shipping so if you're interested just drop me a line :)

Enjoy the majesty of the most magnificent animal on earth!
