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.

Please check out the entries to this challenge:

    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.

        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.

    Hi Paula, love your photo of the fierce and gentle female lion. I also go for photos of animals – birds with wings that fly or don’t fly. Some are doing their duties.
