A Glimpse of Magnificence
We came across a Leopard late one morning. Stopping in the middle of a dirt road, we watched from a distance. I kept shooting until it was few feet away; Leopards are night hunters, seeing them in the morning means they have been unsuccessful, it looked weak. For a brief moment it made contact as it approached the passenger side of our vehicle. The Leopard walked past our car without a care. We observed silently until in disappeared into the brush.
