Part of a herd in South Dakota, just off I-29. The traffic, the long grass which is a haven for ticks (yuck), stumbling through a ditch, all worth it for this stunning horse.

Lord Barclays Seat is I think the chunk of rock between the two major peaky tops to the left. A very shear drop off for those brave enough to take the seat!

A beautiful Lioness we spotted while on a 2023 photo safari in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. She stopped her search for prey just long enough to show me those eyes.

In the savannas of Africa, female lions play a crucial and dynamic role in their familial groups, shaping the social structure and bearing the responsibility for the pride’s survival. Contrary to some common misconceptions, lion prides operate within a matriarchal social structure, where females hold the key roles in decision-making and coordination.

Lionesses are the primary hunters within the pride. Their exceptional teamwork and strategic approach to hunting are essential for the pride’s survival and well-being. Together, they deploy strategic hunting techniques, such as coordinated flanking and ambushing, to outwit their prey. Their synchronized efforts increase the likelihood of a successful hunt to secure food for the entire pride.

Male lions are typically responsible for protecting their pride from other males. However, the females play a vital role in defending the pride’s territory against threats such as leopards, hyenas, neighboring prides, and occasionally other males. The survival of a pride often hinges on the lionesses’ ability to protect their territory.

The lionesses’ strong maternal instincts are at the foundation of the pride’s social bonds. As a group, they are responsible for raising and nurturing the cubs. They teach essential survival skills, including hunting techniques and social behaviors, which ensure the continuity of the pride’s legacy. The pride communicates through vocalizations and body language, fostering a strong sense of community. The bonds formed among females contribute to the overall success and stability of the group.

In the lion pride, females emerge as the unsung heroes, weaving together the threads of survival, protection, and legacy. Their role as huntresses, defenders, nurturers, and leaders is integral to the pride’s success.

I call this image "Brave Heart" to give credit to our Red-winged Blackbirds who don't hesitate to attack raptors much larger and more lethal than they are. They are confident in their aerial skills, and I've never seen one attacked back, so it seems well deserved. After harassing this Red-shouldered Hawk for a few minutes the hawk was finally convinced to find more affable surroundings.

And the morning brings me a story

When I'm standing all on my own

Is there anybody out there?

Just realized I'm still in my dream
