Becky’s September square photo challenge Day 27! She would like us to share photos which embrace ‘pink’ – there could be pink in the photo, the subject or photographer could be ‘tickled pink’*, or indeed looking ‘in the pink’*. A photo that manages to do all three things is the ultimate offering.
tickled pink and totally terrified as these three lions headed towards us in Addo National Park, South Africa
*‘in the pink’ means in perfect condition, or in good health, and ‘tickled pink’ means delighted.

This must have been a thrill, Jude. And that lovely terracotta pink track. You’ve also reminded me I’ve not posted any Africa pink.
Ahem… I might have enhanced the pink a little bit.
hee hee . . . how little is a little!!!
Teeny weeny…
Itsy bitsy….
Well that hadn’t struck me.
I think my original photo lacked depth.
I am sure you must have been in a vehicle, Jude. At least I hope you were! 🙂
Best wishes, Pete. x
I was Pete, but they are very big animals and it seemed like a very small car.
I know what you mean. 🙂
Awesome shot. no wonder you were tickled pink. They do seem to have dinner on their mind though!
Yes, it was a bit scary! Especially as we were entirely on our own.
oh my!! I had assumed you were part of a tour group. Wow you are brave.
You wander around in your own car, though there are some group safaris (we did a dawn one). You must read the linked post when you have time, if you haven’t already done so.
Off to read it now 🙂
Oh wow! Live dangerously!
Quite unexpected. And quite scary as well as being exciting.
Gets the adrenaline pumping!
Oh, yes.
Eek! Great photo though. 🙂
Thank you!
Now if I was in the Algarve I could come up with lots of dusty, pinkish paths! Not many lions though 🙂 🙂
Thank goodness. You really wouldn’t want to come across these if you were on foot!
