~ We soon found that in midday's heat there were lions scattered around the low bluffs over where the Ewaso Nyiro would have been flowing, had there been adequate water resources. They'd found shade beneath trees, often remaining alone, yet not far removed from other pride members. This lioness was especially interesting, in that her demeanor was relaxed to the point of seeming almost detached from her surroundings. Gazing off into the distance where two elephants walked in the dry riverbed, she was the epitome of daydreaming, with a touch of wistfulness.
