"Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze? A teardrop in the falling rain? Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves? Or been kissed by a lone snowflake? Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place." - Terry Guillemets

I don't normally post 2 days in a row but after my last post I got to thinking about how wonderful this world is with creatures as small as insects to those as large as elephants. And who doesn't love ephilants! This family were gathered at a waterhole near dusk drinking together. Bit of an excerpt from GG#1 :
There is nothing like the feeling when a large parade of these wild amazing & majestic gentle giants walks around the open jeep you are sitting in while on safari in the South African bush, specifically at Sabi Sands reserve (& staying at the very appropriately named Elephants Plains Lodge). Unforgettable. They really are amazing animals!
Cheers all

Elephants are gentle giants, who show great care toward their herd, offspring and elders. This symbolizes responsibility, determination and loyalty. Patience: Elephants are also a symbol for keeping calm and having patience as elephants are generally calm and mellow creatures, unless their young or herd is threatened
Most African elephants are diurnal though some herds who live near human populations have become mostly nocturnal to avoid human interactions.
A winter full of beautiful and vibrant colors. Never saw so many red berries before, one different from each other.

A pair of mourning doves has a nest somewhere in our yard. They are so timid they will wait until the smallest finch has left the pond before they will fly down for a quick bath.

a lovely garden in a seed,
and a giant oak in an acorn."
