We took these photographs at a memorable lion sighting we told you about last year, almost seven months ago (it still feels like yesterday, so vivid is the memory!), though we’ve now converted them to black-and-white for a new challenge we’re taking part in.
We’ve been invited by Jane (Just Another Nature Enthusiast) to join the 5 Day Black-and-White Photo Challenge. Jane cares a whole lot about what we’re doing to our planet, both good and bad, and if you share her love for nature, as we do, you”re sure to enjoy what she has to share.
There are only two rules for this challenge:
1. On 5 consecutive days, create a post using either a past or recent photo in B&W.
2. Each day invite another blog friend to join in the fun.
For this first of our posts, we’re throwing the ball to AJ Vosse, the expat South African talent behind “Ouch!! My back hurts” and a long time supporter of de Wets Wild. We hope you’ll find the time to join the challenge, AJ, and look forward to your contributions!

Magnificent! 🙂
That they are, thanks Linda!
Sjoe! Hoe brul die koning van die oerwoud. Wenner!
Ek’s bevrees dis n gaap daardie Spokie! Nie lank voor die foto geneem is nie het n olifant die hele trop uit hul rus in die bedding van die Sabie rivier opgejaag…
Sjoe, moes ‘n heerlike ondervinding gewees het …
Dit was Spokie; wanneer jy kans het kan jy die links hierbo volg na die oorspronklike storie en fotos.
Great!!!!

What a great photo! Love them! I remember the original photos; I think I like B&W even better.

You always say the kindest things, thank you Helen!
I am always honest…
those eyes are deserving of a caption- works brilliantly in B&W.
