This year we had planned another African Safari, in June.
However, our sighting the zebra crossing…
…the leopard sleeping…
…lion cubs at play…
…or the pride at rest is no longer on our 2020 agenda.
I just hope everything is back to normal in 2021.
In 2016 we travelled to the northern hemisphere
where we discovered black lion statues.
We decided that the lions above were
nearly as interesting as their cousins
in previous photos, particularly as we had
been reading books in which they featured.
This lion in a rock was a bonus
which neither of us had heard.
In 2018 we discovered these lions guarding a bridge
which is an entrance to a park named
after the16th Earl of Derby
on the North American continent, in a west coast city,
in a country which had not fought
a war of independence.
In 2017 while visiting the
Western Front Battlefields
of World War I…
…I came upon two more lions guarding this Gate.
These lions, gifted to Australia after World War I,
were temporarily returned for
World War I Centenary Clebrations.
I was lucky to capture these images as the lions
were being returned to Canberra in November 2017.

The word lion/s and some nearby text in Google
will find the location if I have been too vague. 🙂
love these!
