Hiding in the sparse brush, he watched through narrowed eyes.
His prey stopped and peered round nervously.
He was careful to stay downwind, he didn't want to spook the game.
Poised ready for the kill.
The moment was right.
The man's eyes were wide with horror...
as the hunting lion pounced, claiming him for dinner.

What a great shot of the Lion chewing on his bone.

Oh my goodness, I didn't see that one coming today! I thought it might have a humorous twist at the end rather than a meal for a lion!
Well - blogger wouldn't let me comment on gold rush - so I'll say it here. Great idea! I have some old engagement rings - ahem - that I would like to part with. Over here there's a place in town that does it. I'm thinking of taking them in before we leave on holiday. It would make great pocket change! hehehehe
Good FF btw!
How do you do it? You always make great 55's.
This is the stuff of nightmares! Hope that you are sleeping OK.

D'oh! Turnabout is fair play isn't it?
Have to say I love the pair of photos you chose for this one too!
Sure they let lions eat people. That ain't fair.

You did it to us again!
It never gets old - or predictable.
You remain the mistress of the "twist."

You might be better to sell those to a jewellers rather than for scrap gold Aims. The place I sent mine to requests that you remove any gemstones from the jewellery first. Glad you like the 55. :)
