G’day Everyone,

When Isaac whispered “leopard” and pointed to a lone acacia tree on the horizon between the waving expanse of tall, golden oat grass and the pastel backdrop of purple hills and pale blue sky, all I saw was the arborescent outline of a tree.   Isaac brought the Land Rover to a full stop and picked up the binoculars and immediately handed them over the back of the front seat.  I took them but I continued to stare at the tree through the open window of the middle seat for another several moments before resigning myself to the binocs.  Isaac hardly ever used them.  I have 20/15 vision but, even through the binoculars, all I could see was the silhouette of the tree against the bright sky and perhaps a slight bulging on one of the thicker branches extending horizontally from the left side of the short trunk and something that looked like an enormous wasp nest suspended from a branch on the opposite side of the tree.
