KATI KATI MORNING.  Shot of me taken by my guide.  I think this was probably on the morning of my 50th birthday and I was shooting frames in front of the main dining area at Kati Kati camp, prior to heading out on a game drive.  Giraffe had wandered in and were offering incredible images as the sun came up, and I wound up staring into it, thus the squint.  It sure made for some incredible images, and my guide surprised me with this photo.  

First, there was Jaques Yves Cousteau. 🌊 Then came Jane Goodall. 🐒 Then they were followed by the most compassionate of all, who reflected myself back to me as a child, when everyone else claimed I was looney and silly, that yes, the animals and all creature kind can hear my love and feel my compassion. That is who Steve Irwin is to me~ In recognition of a beautiful family that STILL lives his legacy, I am wearing my khaki as it's "Steve Irwin Day". A day to celebrate Wildlife. Compassion. Conservation. Reaching out a lending hand to any animal in need. This also extends to humanKIND! This is one of the purest legacies that I had as an example in my life and Steve (and family!), I salute you and the work you continue to do even beyond the grave. May your compassion be a continued example for everyone who tunes in their awareness of how to heal the world one creature, one step, at a time. To the future! 💎💫💓 #steveirwinday #khakiit #wildlifewarrior #compassion #lovelegacy #steveirwin #australianbirdnest https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNoB85HdSX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pvtjrohl8wz1
