Writing, elephants and photography are my passions. Right now I’m just finishing a book about elephants, Larger than Life, Living in the Shadows of Elephants. The book chronicles the time I spent living in Botswana’s Okavango Delta with Jabu, Morula, and Thembi – and their herd mates Doug and Sandi Groves. You can tell by my smile just how much fun it is to be in Africa around some very large subjects.
I also blog about Africa and other subjects at Red Room. Select “My Other Blog” to view those subjects and color photographs of African wildlife.
Amazing blog, Cheryl! You make me want to go right now to Africa. Still a dream which I hope to realize one of these days.
Cheryl, my elephant painter was Prathida, from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center in Lampang, Thailand. She paints in the SE Asian Abstract style, rather than the Okavango Orthodox school. Chuck
You’re too funny! Hope to see the painting some day. Thanks for taking a look at my website! – Cheryl

Thanks for the offer Ratna! Yes, I’d love to do a guest post. Since all of my travel is to Africa, often solo, I could do a post on “Safari Surprises: Ten Things You Wouldn’t Expect While On Safari” or something along that line. I could also do a post on how to travel solo to Africa. Let me know which direction you’d like me to go and I’ll draft something up for you. Thanks again, Cheryl

Meredith – Wow, thanks for the shout-out. I’ve just read your “Awards and Things” post and am really excited to check out to check out the bloggers you mention and follow them. You read a lot! So cool. And anyone who’s blog post ends with the “Extinct is Forever” elephant rides high in my heart. I’d love to find out where you found that image so I may use it too. Thank you again – Cheryl
Thanks for showing interest in what I put out too.
I sincerely hope you continue to find my works entertaining & pleasurable.
Be safe.
Africa – a photo safari, especially – is high on our “things we hope to do in the near future.” Really nice blog!
Thanks! I plan on making your pots au creme tonight and, brrrrrr, following your adventures where the sun is barely up right now.
A lovely blog you have! On our trip to Namibia we saw hundreds of elephants (they would come to the waterholes a few times a day. I think I took about 300 pictures of them
Elephants are amazing. I’m posting a photo of three elephants drinking from the Chobe River in about 12 days (after I get back from a camping trip.) Thanks for following!
I arrived here through a link on a friend’s blog. This must be serendipity since I will be visiting Etosha national Park next month. When I see elephants, I will think of your blog.
Etosha means the land of great white spaces. It was once the world’s largest reserve, at 36 thousand square miles, but now it is just one-fourth that size. Hope you enjoy your trip!
