After there mud/dust bath, the elephants moved off, browsing. When you get really close to elephants, you realise how hairy they are.

The leaves are always greener on the other side! The trunk gives elephants such enormous reach to get at those succulent leaves at the top.

I have been under the car all day, trying to fix it. It will be a pleasure to get out tonight. Kim arrived today and should be doing the blog tomorrow.

This afternoons wait at the pan proved fruitless. It amazes me how some days a pan has a queue of animals waiting to drink and then other days there isn’t even one. And you can’t predict which it will be. But a day in the bush is seldom wasted.If you sit quietly something is bound to come along. It isn’t always the biggest animal but it is often very interesting. These geese gave me something to photograph and there little marital squabbles gave me a smile .

Later,on the road,this zebra seemed to be inviting me to chase him,looking over his shoulder and nodding a challenge.

Sometimes, sitting by a peaceful pan gives me a chance to reflect on my thoughts and enjoy creation.I think the wilderness gives everyone that opportunity.
