9 August 2003, Women's day in South Africa. Excitement filled the air in anticipation of what this day would bring. It was our last day to try and capture an Antbear and to make things worse, we had to wait until last light to do so.
I could not accompany Cindy to the hide as we did the previous three days and Cindy set off to the blind for another successful photographic session on her own.
 That afternoon, we went for another sundowner - our "Tree of the day" was Yellow thorn. We took the same route as before and spotted an Aardvark in the distance. Chris drove up to it and Cindy was just clicking away, taking the most awesome photographs of the Aardvark. I was just so happy that we did manage to achieve our goal - and those photographs were magnificent. We enjoyed a "G & T" as our last sundowner. Ann and Cindy were leaving the next day to visit other ranches and I, unfortunately, had to return to town.
Watching the sun setting in the bush, having good trusted friends around, breathing fresh air enjoying the peace and quiet, I thought that life could not be better. It was a golden moment shared with my good friends Ann from Michigan, Cindy from Texas and Chris Brand owner of this magnificent ranch whom was kind enough to provide me with the opportunity to escape town whenever I could.
…… I wouldn't have wanted to spend Woman's day in South Africa any other way.
