Hobbes,

your best shots here are # 10, 13 & 15.

I so wish many of these were shot vertically as the shot of the lioness & her cub, but cut thus, is rather sad to me. I so would have loved to see the cubs legs hanging in the air......

Thanks Lil! Here are a few more of the lioness moving her cubs; with their little legs and paws hanging in the air. It was an amazing sight to see. When we saw the lioness emerge from the bushes carrying her first cub, one of the women in my vehicle whispered, I think I'm going the cry!

There was not much time to think. It was also a bear to focus through the grass, and if the exposure was too high I would have shot myself.

Cheers,
Hobbes

Here's where she came from. Brought the little ones out from behind the bush on the left...

And after hiding them in the tall grass, she came back as if to check that she wasn't being followed...
