Love You Mom #2
by Richard Sandor
I took this photo of the lioness as she walked down the road to a watering hole with 7 cubs. Four of the cubs were hers and the balance were those of her sister who had died of a parasitic infection. She, and another lioness who had 3 much younger cubs, would join forces to hunt. I'm not fond of taking photos of animals on a road, but this interaction and having all 7 cubs in view was too good to pass up. Nikon D500 and 80-400 lens at 1/400, f/14 and ISO 640.

Roads are undoubtedly the bane of wildlife photographers, I wonder why anyone could complain about their presence.
Great image of a magical moment
