Happy New Year

I know I am a few days late! But they have been busy days. My boy is back in school and we are returning to a normal schedule.
I got to spend New Years morning with some big cats at Suzy's Pride in Rockwell, NC. I got to pet a lion cub, as did my boy and hubby. It was thrilling to become buddies with the King of the Beasts. That cub was very, very cool. We also watched as the big cats got fed, standing at times only inches from those big cats really was moving. Standing there and feeling their breath as the vocalized and did what is called chuffing you can listen to it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngQ8odAWUJY&feature=related
Between shots it made me pause and give thought to Daniel and what his thoughts were as they got ready to throw him into the lions den. Even greater was the thought of what a mighty God we serve who shut the mouth of those hungry lions. I did get some cool shots. it was foggy, but they still are cool.
I am involved in a 365 challenge, meaning one shot a day for a year. Usually its not tough to think about doing this, but some days motivation is missing, and I have only began. Check back to see how the challenge goes! Now for some photos...
