Showdown by Bonnie Marris.

 

It was a chance encounter you will never forget. You watched in wonder as the great golden cat drank his fill in a creek of dancing sunlight. You were so quiet, so hidden… until the instant he turned and his eyes met yours. He knew you were there all the time! Bonnie captures this once-in-a-lifetime moment using a beautiful play of light and shadow. Published from the artist’s original oil painting.
