The Thumb Butte sits overlooking Prescott like a guardian. I always think of it as a mother figure protecting the town, but from this angle it looks more like a maned lion to me. I’ve always wanted to capture this side view, and, as we drove on Iron Springs Road, the final leg of our journey home from California, I was able to hold my iPhone steady enough to capture this shot through the window as we zoomed by. And then we were home!

Yes it does look like a lion–just what I thought before I scrolled down to look at your comment–great minds and all that!
