Elephants are sensitive fellow animals where if a baby complains, the entire family will rumble and go over to touch and caress it.
did you ever wonder why elephants are different colors? I is because of the color of the mud they roll in.

An elephant having a dust bath (also called sand bathing), with the purpose of cleaning skin, and removing parasites.
Hope you will enjoy this shot.

I may well not be in Flickr for a little while now, so I thought I'd sign off with a couple of photos this morning. The first being an image from undoubtedly the highlight of 2023, our safari to Kenya. It was taken in the Amboseli National Park and depicts an Elephant family who were on the march towards a water hole.

With the water being low in the Sand River, elephants feed on the grasses in the middle of the river and then cross over to the other side to continue on their journey.
A small elephant herd on their way to somewhere :-)! This photo was taken in the Masai Mara in Kenya, Africa!

An Elephant Hawk Moth (Deilephila elpenor) from a moth trap. Ever since I was a boy I've been fascinated by the incredible colour scheme of these moths. I've been experimenting with different approaches to photographing moths from moth traps. As always, often the simplest methods are best. This was just handheld by holding it up to the sky, and using a twin flash with my concave diffuser designs.

Pardon the simple title but when it came up, it stuck. These are wild wild elephants and I was alone in the middle of nowhere at Grootvlei dam near the border with Mozambique. I also was a bit too close for comfort but sensed that they were not in an aggressive mood. Sorry again for the childish title.
Full frame (actually too full). No crop.

A group of Elephants marches in an orderly column toward the waterhole for an afternoon drink in Hwange National Park. Elephants are very social animals and have tight family and group organization.
Hwange is home to a very large number of elephants, estimated to be around 40,000. Unfortunately, it is also home to a large number of poachers. It is estimated that around 500 have been killed by cyanide poisoning of the salt licks and waterholes over the last 5 months. There have been numerous articles in the news about this problem, starting right after I returned home. Here's one link.
