Description: Lioness walking through the tall Mara grass.

Story from behind the lens: This photo was probably from our third day in the Mara. The night before we had left the Topi pride resting by a small hill and in the morning we hurried to see if they were still there to take some photos at sunrise. Of course they had moved, but near where we had left them, several lionesses, had just found out about the whole move thing and were nervously looking for the others. I didn't have much time to take pictures - the sun was rushing to rise, and the lionesses were not in the mood to pose. It was good that James managed to put me in the right place at the right time
