The Unseen

            The leopardess emerged from the tall grass just as we drove past. It is extremely difficult to find these elusive cats in the wild, especially when you are in a large concession where wild animals roam freely. 

Duba Plains, Okavango Delta, Botswana

Thank you for visiting and your kind comments, group awards and faves - I appreciate them all.  🐆
