A few more photos of the lion.. a bit of photo cropping..
The Photographic Journey of bulldog.
What you see is what you get……. birds, animals, and all sorts of things, but remember; Work for a cause, not for applause. Live life to express, not to impress. Don't strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt. .
The Photographic Journey of bulldog. 
Beautiful close-ups of this fantastic and beautiful animal. 🙂
Thanks Inga
That first one just reached right out and grabbed me! Awesome!!
Thank you… a few good photos came out of the shoot.. but when lying in the shade and one is shooting with such bright sun light.. it was difficult… I wonder if one could get them to move and pose.???
Those paws are incredible. Great photos!
Thanks Ingrid.. a beauty if I’ve ever seen one…
Stunning, awesome photographs. Of course, being a Leo, I was obviously going to love this post 🙂
I see there seems to be a good number of you all Leos .. interesting…
Those are beautiful close ups!!!
Thank you…
Aww, he’s so sweet, like a teddy bear 🙂
That’s what I thought and wanted to give him a scratch behind the ear.. Linda wouldn’t allow me to do that..
Wow! Upclose with the king of jungle. Exciting images thats makes me feel that I was there too. Great job!
Thank you so much.. glad you felt that way…
Love those big ol’ paws! Great shots.
Can you imagine if he gave you a loving pat with those,??
Amazing!!!! I just want to go up and cuddle with them. 🙂
I feel the same way… but Linda won’t allow me…lol
These are all fantastic, but my favourite is the paw shot :).
The power of the paw… they are so big but difficult to show on a photo… I wanted to get out and put my hand next to it, so that I could show you all the size… Linda wouldn’t let me…lol
LOL!! No sense of adventure eh? 🙂
Thank you for this close up shots 🙂 How much I love them, and how seems so lovely and so peaceful 🙂 Love, nia
Thanks Nia.. I knew you would enjoy this post…
Wonderful photos.
Thank you…
That fella’s been in a few tough fights by the look of those scars on his face! I love seeing them (through the computer screen where i’m safe) 😉
Yes he had a few knocks on the nose… could have been from a female as they tend to smack the male around after copulation… and he like all males is probably protecting the family jewels… and that’s a fact..
Hahaha! Bravo for him – those are too important to lose 😀
Such pussy cats! But I suppose if I tried to hug one of them, that would be the last hug I’d get…
Lorna… they would probably laugh with you first and then, yes I think you might just become part of the food chain…
oh my gosh – brings a tear to the eye – they are gorgeous. I’ve said this before, but I hope you realise how lucky you are to see all this wildlife – we’re lucky to see birds! We have outstanding scenery but not the wildlife – which in some respects is good, nothing to “eat” us while we’re out hiking or biking but still – bloody beautiful. Good job and thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much.. sometimes I wonder if we are not a bit complacent about the privilege we have been given… Gods animals that we can see in their natural habitat, where others have to view them in cages .. but then your scenery in NZ is something I would like to view first hand…
Wowww, woww, wowww
Difficile sceglierne una, ma l’ultima è dolcissima 🙂
Ciaooo
Thanks Pat..
