Well, it wasn’t long after the first babies were seen that it started raining. On 29 October the first real rain fell. Because most animals were finding shelter during the downpour, they were not so easy to see. However, it did bring out the Leopard Tortoises (we saw three) and even a terrapin crossed the road in search of a puddle. Everything was drenched and clean, revealing the fresh new growth on the trees previously hidden by dust. It was a beautiful sight. Soon the grasses will follow and everything will turn around from its dry, dead winter coat to a lush, green summer dress.
