Elephants, wherever you encounter them, are wild animals. Close, unsupervised contact with any elephant should never be initiated. Do not climb into enclosures; do not get out of vehicles. Do not tailgate an elephant. Think of how you might behave if a stranger suddenly appeared in your living room. Or materialized out of a solid object. Think of how you would react to a dog nattering at your heels. Respect these great gray beings and they will respect you.
A beautiful tribute! Did you paint it?
I used the watercolor mode in Photoshop.
Lovely Cheryl.
Thanks!
that is exquisite!
Thanks! How are you?
I am well, thanks. Life is good. I enjoy your blog so very much. The gentle giants you highlight are magnificent. I have seen them in a zoo but prefer to watch them on http://www.africam.com. It is always better when they are free.
Yes, always better free. I’m going to post a video on Sunday filmed in the Okavango Delta on mitigating the conflict between the 15,000 elephants and the 15,000 people there. It has some lovely footage.
I look forward to it!
