Nature’s plan to blend even the biggest, boldest of animals into the landscape works well. So well, in fact, that coming (surprisedly) upon this kingly fellow — mostly of one colour — had all of us in the safari Jeep scrambling for cameras while speaking in hushed tones.  Better to let sleeping lions lie, right?

For more photos in one colour, go to Ailsa’s blog site — Where’s My Backpack? — and look at Travel Theme: One Colour right here. (And please.  Do it quietly.)
