A Photographers dream Shot

When you drive for days, in the Hot African Sun, nothing to see in the bushes because of the heat...you start to see every rock or tree trunk as the head of some animal, and usually it will be the one you really want to see the most.. just to find it to be another rock shaped like that..well you see a leopard, on wildlife shows and post cards, laying in a tree, almost every curio shop you enter, but in real life...NO WAY !....
So if you stop to get something to drink and you just put your camera on the floor of your car and pour the cold cool drink in a glass.,, out of no where you see something jump into the tree just a few meters away from you, it takes a few seconds for your mind to finally take it all in and send that weird stuff they call adrenaline to every part of your body...too fast too quick anyway, because now you want to either swallow all that drink down to get it out of your hands because you really don't want to spill it on your lap, but you need to get your camera that are now laying on the floor by your feet...but obviously you don't want to move and scare away "the once in a life time" event that is happening in front of your eyes...you think of everything at once at a moment like this...want to shout to my husband "can you believe he chose the tree so close to us" and then i wish every one in the Kruger National Park was there to see what I saw, just to realise its only the two of us that are so privilege to experience the leopards kill and him drag his food in a tree so no other scavenger can take it away..in all of this time passing you have the camera in your hand and just pray " don't leave now, don't leave now"... and you shoot as fast as you can to get as many different views of this majestic animal... we sat there for almost an hour before some other cars pulled up behind us, we had it all to ourselves for a while,... and we left there knowing how wonderful and cruel Nature can be...!
