OK, you say, so does everyone.
Yes, well....I see animals that frequently are not there. I see birds where others see only a clump of leaves. I see a lion where there's a big tan rock. I see hoofed animals that turn out to broken tree branches. I see rhinos where....well, I actually do see rhinos.
I don't think of myself as blind, just lucky. Many people have mocked my "sightings" but I know they're only jealous. Not everyone has the keen imagination necessary to see a stone wall as an elephant and her child. Knowing and loving the power of illusion, I live for game drives, keeping my eyes open to what I may discover. I'm always the first to spot a troop of baboons (rocks strewn across a field), a giraffe (a yellow fever tree) or a huge crocodile (a fallen log, floating). I enjoy muttering, "Oh, false alarm," to my companions' signs and groans.
Call me the little girl who cried wolf, er.....leopard. But don't make me get new glasses.

Oh.. and how many times you have cried "leopard"... haha, in your own sweet way, raising our hopes, but leaving us knowing it will probably be another wonderful rock.
We have discovered that sometimes the rocks are just as beautiful. Im trying to figure whether you have pointed out as many rocks as you own glasses. :-)
You are a wonderful traveling companion. I'm ready for more adventure!
