Serengeti
I was standing by a Maasai warrior near his village in the heart of Tanzania when his cell phone rang.
I chuckled to myself, then dismissed it immediately. Nothing would interrupt my euphoria. Here I was, deep in the bush and plains and forests of Africa. Every turn revealing another spectacle. A herd of leaping impala. Fifty rumbling elephants. A trio of stalking cheetah. I would pinch myself. A leopard is in that tree, fifty feet away, munching on a gazelle draped over a limb. And I'm there.
Another memory I froze in time. I'm standing, clutching the sides of the pop-top Land Rover, as it careens down the sloping mountain side, heading into the endless Serengeti plain. Thousands of animals dot the smooth earth. I truly feel as if I am flying.
I shot video while Dixie took the stills. 1400 of them. I've only just begun to edit.
