Let us make no bones about it - this sort of familiarity is totally tourism induced, which makes me wonder at times about my own predilection for wildlife oriented travel: Hijinks: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/EAfrica/2013/Ndutu_20130309_08714-Edit.jpg.html Beauty and the Beast: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/EAfrica/2013/Ndutu_20130309_08716-Edit.jpg.html Descent: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/EAfrica/2013/Ndutu_20130309_08828-Edit.jpg.html Reflection: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/EAfrica/2013/Ndutu_20130306_07018-Edit.jpg.html Mother and Cub: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/EAfrica/2013/Ndutu_20130309_08729-Edit.jpg.html Centre of Attraction: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/EAfrica/2013/Ndutu_20130309_08818-Edit.jpg.html Beneath the Bazooka: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/EAfrica/2013/Ndutu_20130309_08847-Edit.jpg.html Mutual Interest: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/jayanand/EAfrica/2013/Ndutu_20130309_08909-Edit.jpg.html Please see LARGE Comments and criticism, as ever, welcome Cheers Jayanand _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
