FEMALE is the theme of this week’s Thursday’s Special photo challenge. The deadline is next Wednesday. Be sure to link to the challenge post when you make your entry, and to leave a comment bellow. Have a great day!
Thursday’s Special is a weekly photo challenge that encourages bloggers (photo bloggers and other) to post images in colour based on the given theme. You are free to interpret it as widely as you like, and you are invited to pay other participants a visit to check out other entries. Once you post for Thursday’s Special, I will make sure to link to all participants.
There is another photo challenge on this blog, but in black and white and it takes place on Sundays. Please see UPDATES for schedule.
Darn cold down here this morning … but the sun’s out and we’ll warm up in a short while.
I just mentioned your excellent challenge to the wife. She refuses point blank to pose while draped languidly déshabillé over the garden bench at 9,0’clock in the morning, and she’s moaning about frost too. I don’t know ….. whatever happened to Art for Art’s sake?
Or in my case, Ark for Ark’s sake?
I shall have to find another female subject for you.
😉
Let me do a bit of work and refuel with some more coffee … ”I’ll be back” as Arnie used to say.
What a wonderful capture. This lioness looks regal. And the music fits perfectly with the birds and the elephant trumpeting,and the drums — put me right there in the jungle with your female. Mine this week https://irenewaters19.com/2017/05/25/female-thursdays-special/
Excellent topic, which topic could be more magnificent.?
Lionesses are wonderful creatures,
whatever they are two-legged or four-legged.
Very well captured… 🙂

It is based on Joy Adamson’s book. A lovely film. Shot in 1967. You can probably find it online. Worth it if you like wildlife. AT

Do. It is a lovely movie. When you see it think that I arrived in Kenya as a teen in 1967. I saw those things. Or similar.
