Once again all my wishes...hope Santa did his job for you!
This is a female White Lion. The ear to the right wasn't in the image..so I did an overall crop 'cause I wanted absolutely to share these beautiful eyes with you. To be honest...I think she liked me. You know...women!;-)

Wiki:
White lions are not albinos but are leucistic. They have pigment visible in the eyes (which may be the normal hazel or golden color, blue-gray or green-gray), paw pads and lips. Blue-eyed white lions exist and may be selectively bred. The leucistic trait is due to the chinchilla mutation that inhibits the deposition of pigment along the hair shaft, restricting it to the tips. The less pigment there is along the hair shaft, the paler the lion. As a result "white" lions range from blonde through to near white. The males have pale manes and tail tips instead of the usual dark tawny or black.

Hello Annick,
"For your eyes only" I remember these words from my younghood. It was a wonderful Bond film Roger Moore and Carole Bouquet. It has a very nice song that has the same name with the film. Oh Annick, you let make me nostalgia :).

The photo that you have taken wonderful and pested here is really best of the best. It looks very lovely like a pretty house cat. You have caught the expression very well. Bravo and TFS.
Merry christmas
Greeting
Fevzi

Annick, Dit is prachtig!
De pels lijkt zo fluweel zacht en de doorzichtighheid en diepte van de ogen zijn om van te smelten.
Proficiat, je vorige photos gingen al in deze richting, maar dit is de top! Ook het vierkante formaat is heel aantrekkelijk.
Dank je.
