Ellie's!!!

What fun to see so many elephants so close up!! This picture is for Diane... the first time I saw African elephants in the wild, we mostly had butt shots... sot this was to remind me of that:) This view was acutally from the patio where we ate our meals, just a couple hours before we finished our vacay...

The only place we saw mother's with their young was inside the park. It was harder to get close because they would get nervous easily and start trumpeting.

This guy was wanting to eat some of the tree just by our vehicle, so he mossied on over with his elegant stride... when you have to take your camera out of zoom to see the whole elephant, he's getting a little TOO close!!:)

We saw lots of old dung piles, but this was especially fresh:).

This was my foot inside an ellie's foot print... on a sandbank in the middle of the Zambezi river... at sunset:).

They can drink up to 100 Liters in one sitting!!



These last photo's I took sitting on a boat or in a canoe!

Crazy, crazy!! Love the foot picture though the close up shots are magnificent. God's creation is amazing.
