Lions


Lions in South Africa?  Sure, though we didn't go to the bush country to see them on this trip.

But, lions in Naples?

Yes, in front of two different antiques stores in Olde Naples.
The alpha male looks confident.  The other does not.


The lion in Bonita Springs is trying to muster some
 ferocity, but I am not too scared.

Roaring good photos.

You are correct. The eyebrows on the stone lion add a tentative and timid expression.

They are wonderful sculptures, but I think seeing lions in the bush is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Sorry you missed that in South Africa.

Sharon said...

Oh yes, that one in middle looks like it's been caught in the headlights.

Oh, fun ones for the day, Jack!! I love the look on the second ones face!! Roaring good indeed!! Hope you have a great new week!

Randy said...

My cat looks scarier than that last one. Especially when her food bowl becomes bare.

RedPat said...

Good one, Jack! The top guy is definitely the alpha of this group.

Everywhere there are kings, there are lions..

The top guy is even more fierce than Saltaire's legendary stone lions.

Your post is great fun. Never seen a frightened looking lion before. Yep, those lions sure get around.

Our first lion is certainly a fierce looking fellow!

Kay said...

Uh, nice kitties...best leave the live ones in the wild.

Michelle said...

Well, they got lions in Venice, why not Naples?
