Hi Sandy – Thanks for your comment. You must be getting some scary queries i.e. your book title! Just keep your tent zipped up. I’m leaving for Botswana in late May and will be sharing ground space with hyenas again. Not to mention my favorite Trio of elephants. Thanks for taking a look at my website. – Cheryl

Fascinating — and scary! I admire your courage. I’d be afraid to camp in Africa.
FYI: I found you through LinkedIn’s “Writers Cafe.”

Again, you open our awareness to our human connection with these amazing beings. I wonder if such a revelation might not also chide us, by implication, for our dangerous smallness?

I have to admit Cheryl, before meeting you the elephants were always tied with giraffes as my favorite animals to observe at the zoo. Now, reading your posts and seeing your photographs, I find that I’m losing myself on an almost daily basis in dreams and fantasies about visiting the places you’ve been, and meeting the amazing people and elephants you’ve encountered. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through your adventures and I definitely plan on visiting Africa sooner than later – I feel a need to gaze into one of those awe inspiring eyes myself!

I work around elephants in a very different way, in a zoo environment, unfortunately not in their natural habitat, and without sounding ridiculous…. I learn something almost every time I am with them……there is so much represented in those kind, kind eyes.
