With an abundance of flies paying close attention this male lion was disturbed from its afternoon nap. It briefly stood up walked around in a circle, surveyed the lioness and duly laid back down exactly where it had arisen from.
These two were part of a family that appeared to consist the lion, two lionesses and three cubs. Photographed within the Masai Mara National Park.
I have raccoons living under my deck! This one came out, walked around & gave a big stretch before hiding under again! They must think they're paying the taxes, lol, definately won't be their permanent residence!

Limber pine skeletons under a wind-driven lenticular cloud reach out to catch a rainbow on the horizon. Last light near the forest-tundra boundary on Niwot Ridge in the Front Range of the southern Rocky Mountains.
Pepper thanks me for ensuring that his outdoor yoga studio mat is warm and nicely trimmed. Well, it was thursday afternoon - that won't be the case for much of the following Caturday which is having rain with some snow. Happy Caturday 14 March 2020, "We are Cat People."
...and go back to sleep.
It's what cats do!

The weather seems to have taken a turn for the warmer.
For the past several days Floydd has been taking his afternoon nap on the blanket on the rocker on the front porch.
The afternoon sun warms things up nicely.
It's the perfect place to take a snooze.

How does a very small bird like the Yellow Warbler look like a big bird. In this stretch pose, the 4 inch bird looks much larger.

Stretching is critical to many with injuries, and to athletes who want to avoid injuries. This is a small part of a flexible exercise band being stretched against the blue of another band. HMM!
I’d already assumed my trip up to Northumberland yesterday was not going to deliver any different conditions already experienced over the last year and a bit. As I was not going to add anything to my favourite trees I decided to explore the other side to the burn, I was rewarded. This oak for example caught my eye immediately, the only problem being I had to negotiate a very steep bank for access. Nothing gained nothing ventured, a bit of a challenge, something I’ve never shied away from. I edged my way down, each time adjusting my tripod and composing a photo thinking as precarious stance go this must be my limit. Slowly I made it to this place and steadily set up the photo. On examining the frame I noticed some intruding flora in the bottom left, so edging down I reached out and gently pulled the bush to me while stretching up with my other arm to touch the camera’s lcd and activate the shutter, coincidentally mirroring the stance of my subject. Nice to join me, but you want to try holding this position for a few hundred years.
The brown hare is native to Europe and parts of Asia, and feeds mainly on grasses in open country.
They are mainly active at night, which is why this one was stretching his hind legs at the end of day, after lounging around, seemingly unaware I was watching from a close distance.
With such long powerful legs they are able to run at great speed, out of harm's way of predators, which include birds of prey, wild cats and dogs.
Many thanks for your comments. Have a great week!
