On one particular safari we hadnt been fortunate with our game viewing and some people were getting restless. Sensing their frustration, our guide said, You know, Ken, Ive learned that to get great wildlife shots you need patience and love. I knew about patience but asked what he meant by love. He said, You have to love the fact that youre alive and fortunate to be out in the beauty of nature, and have love for those sharing the experience with you. As you let go of your expectations, the wildlife will come to you. I realised I had been caught up in others frustrations, with everyone jockeying to get the best angle, as well as my own expectations. So, I determined to let go and work on the love concept. As I did, peace settled over me. Shortly afterwards we came upon this blue-eyed leopard. What a lesson and what a gift!
