I Am Leo, Hear Me Roar

ReWorking an Old Favourite, originally uploaded by digbytoast.

Happy Wednesday, we've made it to the middle of the week!
I'm struggling a bit with a sinus infection, but hope you're firing on all cylinders.
During our weekend visit to the Zoo, my niece and a friend and I got to hear one of the lions roaring -- what an incredible sound -- one that makes something inside your chest vibrate!
I love lions -- coincidence since I'm a Leo?
You know I don't believe in coincidence.
Maybe that's why I love this picture that I took in Florence, Italy a few years ago so very much.
I have it enlarged and hanging over my bed -- so I look at it every night before I go to sleep and every morning when I wake up.
Even emphasizing the cooler tones as in this treatment...I think my Medici Lion still embodies all those qualities of fiery fierceness, wisdom and strength that it's good to contemplate dark and early in the morning as I start my day.
The lion on the weekend actually roared itself back to sleep...getting progressively quieter until it harrumphed and was quiet....perhaps something for me to try tonight!
See you later,
Dawn
