Saturday Photo Hunt: Colorful
My trip to Africa was the most colorful thing I've ever done. These are Masai warriors, who dress in red because they believe it scares the lions. They also believe that if you wear pants, the lion will attack you because if knows that you have two legs and can't run very fast. So this colorful red outfit both scares the lions and disguises the fact that there is a man inside.

Neat photo. And a great write up with it. Lions aren't dumb critters for sure.
