Lions in North Carolina Zoo

We have been in the North Carolina Zoo many times and we have taken a lot of photos for the lions there. After we review all the lion pictures, we agree that this one is the best of all. This photo was taken on 26th March 2006 when it was still a little cold and chilly. We did not expect the lions would come out and provide such a good posture with the couple side by side. They did and we were really presently surprised to see them like that.

By that time, our zoom lens was not good enough to have some close-up pictures. So, we have to crop it some to emphasize the beauty of these animals. They looked so serious and they would not be able to do "cheese" even though we had tried hard. In fact, while we tried, people around us were giving us their "cheese" smiles.
