				Hello Friends
After 2 years of drought, Gaia has blessed us 
				with beautiful soaking rains.  



 
Nature is extraordinary! Obviously there was 
				not enough nutrition in the grass for not a single blue 
				wildebeest calf was born. (The season before the drought, every 
				blue wildebeest cow calved.) 
 
Any animal that went down in condition, were 
				soon caught by the tigers and the cheetah. The drought period 
				clearly demonstrated how predators keep the herds healthy and 
				strong. 
 
From a photographic point of view, the 
				drought provided unusual sequences, as both predator and prey 
				came up with ingenious methods to survive. 


 
With the rains we now have beautiful contrast 
				in our pictures and tigers and cheetah strolling through fields 
				of wild flowers. 
 
A privilege to be in the Garden of Eden right 
				now!
