About 9 years ago I had never dreamed
of taking this, or any other, image
in Kruger National Park.
A spur of the moment decision saw us
making plans to visit
Botswana’s Okavango Delta in 2014.
It was here we sighted what
our guides described as…
…1,000 elephants migrating from A to B.

Finally a less exotic image
from much closer to home.
A dreamy view of the
Wimmera River
at Horsham,
Victoria.

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. 🙂

bounce.
jump repeatedly up and down,
typically on something springy.

These days, I only have to see…
…people jumping around like this
for my knee to begin to ache.

Even before my knee was replaced...
…a sight like this would cause pain in my knees.
The things we do when we are young.
