This handsome devil slept pretty much all day long (SEE PHOTO #1) and I didn't think I was gonna get a single good shot of him - besides the one of him resting his weary head on a rock perched high above his kingdom. Onlookers would only get a view of the top of his head most of the day.
All of a sudden, around 4:30pm, the great beast woke up. He slowly made his way down to eye level front and center, gazed at us with an air of superiority - as Kings often do to their subjects - then with incredible power he spoke to the crowd. The roars were heard all around and people came running from every direction. He let us know that in spite of his long nap HE was indeed still in charge.
I recorded his speech with my camera for keep sake. And after he had stated his case - maybe fifteen or twenty Earth-shattering bellows - he returned to the top of his world and went back to sleep.
