Lion Resting in Shade After Rain

by Marilyn Cameron

Bright midmorning light falls through autumn trees, illuminating a lion resting in the deep shade of a game trail. The animal is silhouetted against the washed-out brightness of the background, its dark fur absorbing the soft light that remains after rain. Sea spray hangs in the air, catching the sun in fine droplets that shimmer around the predator. Late autumn leaves in muted browns and golds carpet the ground beneath the lion's paws. The subject's muscular form is defined only by the sharp edge of its silhouette against the glare. One droplet of water rests on the tip of a nearby fern leaf, reflecting the pale sky above.
