I was a bit delayed in getting this posted, so I will keep this post nice and brief. Just an elephant at their scratching tree to start the week. I think elephants are a good way to start any week 🙂
Isn’t this little guy just the cutest thing you’ve ever seen? I spotted him on my last afternoon in the Masai Mara, and while he started out acting all tough, he soon realized that we weren’t any type of threat, and relaxed completely.
My Monochrome Monday choice for this week is from a wonderful lion sighting during my time spent in Etosha National Park in Namibia. You really can’t ask for better than this!
While we were driving from camp to the river crossing location, we came across an area where wildebeest were moving in a column, for as far and the eye could see in either direction. I tried creating a stitched panorama, but even that only provides a hint of the overwhelming number of animals on the plains.
This big bull elephant was the last animal I saw before heading home from my last safari adventure. We came across him on our way back to camp for a quick breakfast before our flight out. He was moving swiftly along the road, and in musth as well, so we stayed well out of his way. He stopped briefly to check us out from afar, grabbed a small trunkful of sand from the road and let it fly before carrying on his way. The way the light was falling, the sand almost makes it look like he is surrounded by confetti.
