Auchterlonie was quiet but the full moon against the blue sky...
...and the scenery kept me entertained.

God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Re: Chicks and a new SO on the catwalk (Oct 2013)
It was getting latish and we were pondering whether to stay for another sundowner or return to the camp.
Spots made a call and said we might as well stay a bit longer. When we had opened the cans, he turned around to clink with the words:
"I'll have that one on the leopard." I swear, I'm not telling fibs... The moment he said the words, I saw this:

Spots was still facing me, so I had to tell him how right he was with what he had said.
Dunno, if you have realized it yet - I hadn't back then...

It's the Auchterlonie Female and her daughter Warona:

By now another car had arrived - one of our neighbours from Kielie, but Warona
was all eyes for us.

She eventually got up and move over to her mum:

When the two of them left towards the dunes / picnic spot, our neighbour raced off to catch them at the top.
What a freak!

We decided to drive into the access road as well, but much slower as we didn't want to chase the leopards away.
When the Freak realized that we were coming, he made sure he'd block the entrance to the picnic spots (only
wide enough for one car, for those who haven't been there). But once again, the leopards did us a favour and walked
straight towards us.
