Kingfisher to Elephant

Kingfisher Lunch

This was the most hilarious thing. We were out in a blind on the shore of a lake looking at different bird species. This kingfisher has a fish in its mouth that is obviously too big to swallow. So he's thrashing it back and forth trying to break it into smaller pieces. Funny!

We saw lots of elephants in Pilanesberg refuge. Here's a shot of a family with two babies!

 

 

Here's a shot showing both babies!!!

 

 

 

Baby Elephant Sand Bath

In this video a baby elephant is picking up sand with its trunk and spraying it across its back!!!

 

Linda says I have to bribe her to include this photo. On Saturday, June 27th, we went to an elephant sanctuary. During one portion of the tour, guests were invited to feed an elephant. I convinced Linda to participate so I could take her picture.

 

 

During another portion of the tour guests were invited to come up and touch the elephant. Again, I convinced Linda. Of course, I couldn't participate because I had to take the picture.

 

 

In this segment, guests were invited to have a kiss from one of the elephants. When Linda saw the big dirty mark on the cheek of this girl, she declined.

 

 

Here both of us are holding on to the tusks. Man, is the elephant ever huge compared to our size!
