On each of our visits to Ruaha, we have managed to see Lions with cubs. This youngster gives his Mum a kiss in the dry river bed of the Mwagusi, as the light fades

Excellent light and very touching photo. Like the title. Mum is very interested in you, it appears. Ever watchful and protective. Thanks.

Hey Ken, for me, the best kind of wildlife image is one showing interaction - and the best kind of interaction is affection. So yea, I like this shot very much.....Nice sharp eyes on Mum, and I love when cubs of this age have the faint leopard-like rosettes.
