This breeding pair of lion have been through the ringer. The female... in the prime of her life... and the male... a battle hardened warrior who carries his scars on his face like badges of honor. This shot captures them as the morning sun was just rising... and before both of them fell fast asleep shortly after!
The long-tailed widow bird must be one of the most frustrating birds to photograph... due in part to it being so stunningly photogenic, while at the same time, incredibly shy. I snuck up on this one... and managed to catch a shot before it danced away through the grass.
