| A bird in the bush |
We got to the game park and the driver/guide popped the van top. We could all stand up and still have about 1 foot of clearance. One of our first animals that we saw was a lioness walking. We were surprised to see this since lions usually rest during the heat of the day. This park doesn’t allow for off-road driving so we couldn’t follow her. Anyway, we were fortunate to see her since when we talked to other people on this game drive, they didn’t see any lions. She was really camera-shy, walking behind a lot of bushes, so Filbert didn’t get a photo of her, much to his chagrin. He’d look up, see her, try to aim the camera as she’d pass behind a bush, look up, see her come out from behind the bush, try to aim the camera as she went behind another bush. This went on for a while.
