The underside of an elephant’s trunk sometimes reminds me of an old tire.  Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana.

A continuing series of elephant photographs.  Watercolor of Thembi, photoshopped.  Loved all the original blues and thought it might look great as a watercolor.  Chief’s Island, Moremi Game Reserve, Botswana.

A Note About Elephants

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.
