Finalist – A Gentle Touch
On my fi rst trip to one of my bucket-list destinations, I was observing a troop of baboons on the banks of
Botswana’s Chobe River from a boat. There were many adults and several babies, which were barely a week old.
I loved seeing the intimacy between this mom holding her baby lovingly and the dad gently touching the youngster’s face. It’s an experience I will always treasure.
