My contribution for this week’s
Fun Foto Challenge
~~~~~
Perspective.
~~~~~
This week I am featuring my favourite
animal on the earth.
Imagine getting a whack with this…
and a whole new dimension is added to…
‘Make sure you wash behind your ears’.
Our children should never again grumble…
they don’t realise how easy they have it.
Same, as above, applies here
A couple of travellers felt a warm spot….just….there.
Our Guide and Google, assure me that
that is where testicles are kept.
You would have to think twice before
trying to kick him in the ………. 🙂
Even this view was something
not previously experienced
Work colleagues had no idea what this was…
and it had to be explained.

Again not an everyday sight.
On our last day we had an early rise.
Imagine sighting this no more than thirty feet away.
Not so much a different angle or perspective
for the photograph,
but definitely for the tourists.
We were on the Olifants River
and this old dear was on land
and that was the difference
between high and low blood pressure.
Hers was high.
We were definitely not welcome.

What a great subject for this week’s theme. I must admit that the close up of the trunk was my favourite. I have never seen it that way. Actually, I’ve never been that close to an elephant even though I live in Africa. Also, thanks for the pingback 🙂

Regina the up close and personal shots were taken at Elephant Whispers (Hazyview)…just outside Kruger NP and south of Hoedspruit. We were on our way to Sausage Tree Safari Camp…not far from Hoedspruit. Both places certainly worth a visit. Although I sound like I am trying too sell ice to Eskimos with those comments 😀

I haven’t visited much that part of the world, the Saugage Tree camp sounds like my thing, and there’s a few long weekends coming on that I want to plan for.
Thanks for your wonderful photos Don, I enjoy them a great deal 😄.

Can definitely guarantee Sausage Tree, Regina. Also Imagine Africa 4×4 Safaris. Richard and Mandy operate the Safaris while Richard’s sister Sonja and husband James operate Sausage Tree. All staff are tops.

Such a great series of photos. I can see why an elephant is your favorite. 🙂

Just love them Cee. I read ‘Leaving Time’ by Jodi Picoult last spring…a great read about the elephants and only reinforced that which we had seen in wild groups a few weeks earlier

Wonderful. Especially enjoyed the close-ups. The tail really confused me at first. 🙂

I think you could buy bracelets made of elephant tail. I don’t have one though. 😀

I’ll pass on that one. I’d feel really guilty wearing such an item. 😦

Me too…they are truly gentle giants and I cannot see why anyone would think it sporting to shoot one with a high powered rifle from a 100 metres or more away.
