Trip to Kenya, Part 5

Catch up with the Kenya Series: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

Besides rhinos, Lake Nakuru is also famous for tree-climbing lions. When Jordan read this from the guide book, it sounded like a myth. Lions don't climb trees, it's an important part of the food chain. But apparently some lions visited the park who knew about climbing trees and taught the local lions how to do it. We were lucky enough to see a family of lions, with three different sizes of cubs. Although the first time we saw them they were firmly on the ground.

The next time we saw them they were posing on a fallen branch:

Then our last morning we saw them for real up in the trees. Hanging out over their recent breakfast:

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
