“I’m Seeing Spots!”

Got to see the final member of the Big Five today--twice. I think God really knocked Himself out with the leopard. So beautiful. Watched a leopard sleep, stretch, laze, sleep in the Y of a tree for nearly and hour as more than a dozen giraffe grazed unaware.

Seeing the leopard reminded me of being in Dharamsala, India, and walking back to my guesthouse. I heard branches breaking, and about 20 feet away, there was a leopard eating a dog. Glad she/he was eating.

Currently staying at Seronera Wildlife Lodge. It is an amazing structure built in and around the kopjes--it was built in the ‘60s, and looks very California Modern/Westledge School, all angles, glass and natural stone.

I woke this morning to a grunting noise, like a pig but deeper (similar to Demi Moore's voice)-- hippos returning from foraging. And I was being watched through my window- a baboon was scrutinizing me. Just looking. So perfect here. Pristine.

You know, the world can be a most amazing place when man isn’t allowed to screw it up.
