Description
One day I came across this roadblock on my late afternoon drive. Animals have right of way (or right of sleeping in the road) and should never be disturbed. Needless to say I have spent quite some time with these lionesses until more cars left and I could safely negotiate my way past them without disturbing them. There were 6 lionesses and two teenage cubs in this pride. (the other 2 were out of sight) I'm sure the male was hiding in the bushes somewhere.
Unfortunately they were lying in deep shadow which is not ideal for photography but I wanted to share the experience with you!

what a sight to come across, not something we would ever encounter on our roads, even if we were lucky enough to host such wonderful creatures as these.
purrfect
WOW, WOW & WOW again. How lucky are you.
Amazing capture Carin. God bless.
Beautiful capture Carin.
At first I was frightened when I looked at the preview picture, because I thought the lions were dead. Fortunately, the lions only sleep peacefully.
Sensible creatures, and what a great pic!
LOL! This reminds me of Piet. I can hear him saying, "Lions are f***ing boring, they just sleep all the time." :P Thanks for this! :)
Great capture Carin!
When I first came across this photo I thought these creatures were dead, probably from ambush. Anyway, terrific capture despite the shadows.
Like any cat, they have to lie in the way.
On a hot day any patch of shade will do. When I met my lions the adults were under the bushes. The young ones were lying in the sun gradually cooking.
wonderful capture - the phrase, let sleeping dogs lie should really read lions!
SO WONDERFUL!
