Lioness portrait in Etosha National Park /Namibia

            Near Namutoni at the end of the afternoon the waterhole is deserted, no animals, the weather is cloudy.
we are with our heads bent over our camera to do a first sorting, car windows down.
I am seated at the back, glancing from time to time towards the waterhole on my right.
Suddenly my gaze shifts to my left and  it's an intense emotion: the lioness is there, very close, facing me! She drinks quietly from a puddle surely left by the storm of the previous night! delicious moments that I savor ! About 10 minutes later, the lioness leaves, as silently as she arrived!

En cette fin d'apres -midi le waterhole est désert ,pas d'animaux ,le temps est nuageux .
 Nous sommes la tête penchée sur notre appareil photo pour faire un premier tri ,vitres de la voiture baissées . 
 Je suis installée à l'arrière ,jetant un coup d'oeil de temps en temps vers le waterhole sur ma droite .

Soudain mon regard se porte vers ma gauche et c'est une émotion intense  :la lionne est là ,toute proche qui me fait face !Elle boit tranquilement dans une flaque d'eau sûrement laissée par l'orage de la nuit précédente !Des instants délicieux que je savoure !Environ 10 mimutes plus tard ,la lionne s'en va ,aussi silencieusement qu'elle est arrivée !
