Some random images of the last 2 days

We sat at Tau dam in the South West while these elephants made their way to the water over the dam wall, what a sight it was. The bull who was alone at the dam soon joined the small group and had a swim and a bath. The young bulls couldnt resist the temptation of pestoring the old guy. It was quite funny !

Elephants love to bath in the day and to get the mud all over themselves.

This is one female you dont want to argue with. I love the look and the whole body posture of this image.

The light was perfect this morning with us just in the right place and right time.

It is clear that there are a very tight bond between the female and cubs. They have just returned from an atempted hunt on some wildebeest.

For me the difference in good lion images are nr. 1: good light and nr.2: eye contact from the lion to the camera. Lions dont always make eye contact and when they do your camera must be ready to fire.

This is on of the kagala etali males. He is the father of the youngsters above. Yesterday the perfect shot would have been to get eye level with this animal, although I dont think he would have appreciate me lying on the ground a few metres in front of him.....maybe one day I will get that shot who knows.

Cheers for now
