Eleven lions make up this pride, residing within a five-mile area surrounding our tented camp at Puku Ridge. My six-day stay at Puku Ridge allowed me to eventually photograph all of them. I spent much of one morning with four lionesses relaxing together near the Katete River, where I found these sisters at rest and at play. Once again, the multiple imaging option on my camera, which repeatedly triggers the shutter with just one press, found the perfect moment. The sisters compose this image for me by arranging their legs and heads in a circular flow. The two extended tongues add visual exclamation points. This image incongruously presents the human values of affection and pleasure to us in animal form.
