A Walk on the Wild Side – Chapter 18
The landscape before them opened up to the most incredible sight Bette had ever seen.
Bette looked at Tina once again, in awe. It’s beautiful T she whispered reverently.
Over the last few days, Bette had marvelled at Tina’s almost encyclopaedic knowledge of this land, and the many species that inhabited it. It was obvious that her love and respect for the wildlife here was all encompassing. It meant that they were able to travel further a field than a normal safari, exploring stretches of this magnificent land that are seldom visited.
Tina looked out at the sight before them. No matter how many times she visited this spot, she was always taken back to her childhood.
Bette noticed the far away expression on Tina’s face, and reached across to hold her hand loosely in her own.
Tina looked across at her lovers soft gaze, before turning around to once again view the spectacle before them, remembering another time her hand was held so tightly.
“When I was little, I wanted to be a dancer you know,” she began. “I remember my excitement, when My mom enrolled me into Ballet lessons. I drove my parents nuts for days, waiting for the day I would start my first class. I remember my mom holding my hand as she took me there for the first time.”
“Just before we were ready to leave Dad gave me a big rectangular box with a red ribbon tied around it. My parents sat their patiently waiting for me to open the box, holding hands looking at each other with such love in their expressions. I tore open the box and removed the tissue . I can remember squealing with excitement,” she explained, her grin growing wider at the memory.
” I ran to my bedroom, to put on the pink ballerina shoes and matching tutu they had bought me.” Tina paused as she wiped a tear from her eye. She smiled fondly as she saw the sea of pink flamgos before her, their shade matching perfectly the outfit she wore so long ago.
“That’s beautiful T” Bette whispered.
“Tell me what you see Bette” Tina whispered.
Before Bette could answer, she was distracted by the sudden movement before her. Hundreds of thousands of these ungainly yet somehow beautiful birds, slowly unfurled their wings, and with a lifting of their long supple necks, and a few steps on their impossibly long knobbly kneed legs, took to the air on mass.
“It’s like a thousand pink rose petals, have risen into the sky, carried by a gentle breeze higher and higher, Bette said with awe. Noting the look of encouragement on Tina’s face she continued. “Each beat of their wings sounding like the wind blowing through the branches of a tree.”

Thank you for letting us see somerhing so beautiful You could close toue wyws a see this . Thanks
So beautiful, and let see the beautiful of Bette and Tina showing next. Post soon, thanks!
With just a few well chosen words you open up a panoramic view of Africa for all to see. You can see the expanse, feel the warmth of sun against your skin and hear all of the sights and sounds around them. It makes me want to book a flight and visit.
Tina’s insight that Bette was afraid that she would change her mind shows that she wants to be there for Bette. Perhaps she’s also making sure to reassure herself as well.
And just what species is a Land Rover? LOL…that was a great way to explain why there wasn’t a great threat of them being attacked.
Nice job.
This is beautifully descriptive, I felt I was there with them.
Simply Beautiful.
Thank you.
