Tidbits 3
I like this so much that I’ve decided to make this my mantra:
“Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
Helen Keller
On camping:
“Often the camping place is the most memorable part of a day in the wild, and it sometimes seems that my life is defined by a long trail of abandoned campfires.”
Delia Owens
in Secrets of the Savanna.
On wildlife:
“The best thing about animals is that they don’t talk much.”
Thornton Wilder
On photography:
This makes me laugh each time I hear it:
“You miss 100 percent of the photographs that you don’t take.”
Finally:
This advice from National Geographic photographer and filmmaker, whose film on leopards I recently saw on TV. If there is an elephant offended by your proximity, photograph it from a low vantage point, looking up, so as to bring across the strength and size of this animal. I’ll try to remember this when I am next charged by an ellie!
