Scarred. Wounded. Moving slowly. I reckon his days as a silent bushveld assassin will be over soon.</p> September 06, 2021 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-06-sophdex-youll-feel-for-me/ Mon, 06 Sep 2021 19:55:06 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-09-06-sophdex-youll-feel-for-me/ <p><a href="https://instagram.com/sophdex">@sophdex</a>, you’ll feel for me when I tell you the leopard was far away and got chased off by a buffalo, and the first lot of lions were unconscious and motionless, so you’ll agree we recovered something from the day by running into the second lot who walked all around the car and posed nicely for their closeups.</p> October 03, 2020 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2020-10-03-handsome-boi-wait-for-it/ Sat, 03 Oct 2020 12:48:28 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2020-10-03-handsome-boi-wait-for-it/ <video controls preload="metadata" poster="17885715166742147_thumb.jpg" style="width:100%;height:auto;"> <source src="17885715166742147.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> <p>Handsome boi. Wait for it&hellip;</p> <p>I thought I’d lost these clips. One of those times where you see something spectacular between entering Kruger and getting to camp.
