TechnoBabe said...

Was the king of beasts yawning or did he have something important to say?
With sharp teeth like that I would listen to whatever he had to say!

Vicky said...

Was he yawning? I swear I hear a roar when I see those teeth! Feels like you were on safari as I don't even see a hint of snow!

Elena said...

Awesome shot...I like when you go to the zoo. Remember the ostrich?

What a fun place to go, the zoo. I love your picture and caption. Now tell us how do you get that pretty writing there on your blog? Curious minds want to know.

joyce said...

What a beautiful animal! I've never been to a zoo. I do know that there is a trick to getting the bars of the fence out of the pictures, as you did, can't remember what it is though.
The caption is perfect too...one that I could live with!

Jakki said...

LOL..THIS makes me smile too! Wall worthy photo, here lady!

Joie Moring said...

I never met a cat or a place in the sun I didn't like. These two are just incredible - and you've captured them in a way that opens my heart soooo wide.

Bernie said...

He looks like is so relaxed he is yawning......:-) Hugs

Jeanie said...

I'd smile, too! (I'd also stay away from that open mouth! Those are serious jaws!)

Green Girl in Wisconsin said...

That caption is perfectly witty.
