What you see is what you get……. birds, animals, and all sorts of things, but remember; Work for a cause, not for applause. Live life to express, not to impress. Don't strive to make your presence noticed, just make your absence felt. .
Thanks Lorna… they are not to dangerous if you know what signs to look for… they tend to warn you to get out the way… if you don’t well your car can receive a free panel beating…
I got a little close to one down your neck of the woods and decided to stay very still and quiet when those big ears started a-flapping, he was NOT pleased to see me.
As long as the ears are flapping… your Ok… when they stop flapping start to run as fast as you can and discard bits of clothing as you go… they often stop to wipe out the clothes before pursuing you… you also hope it slips in your shite….
I agree.. I can sit and watch them for hours… somehow they can pass a message to a whole herd spread in thick bush and all do what the Boss wants… I love them…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – you are sooooo lucky to live with such amazing sites in your own “backyard”. I can only dream that one day I might see the majestic elephant (my favourite) in its natural habitat. Great shots as usual Bulldog!!
I tried to photograph a circus elephant once and apparently got too close for the handlers’ comfort. They yelled to get back before it whacked me with its long trunk! LOL Your photos obviously are MUCH better!!
Thank you… Yes the trunk can be a touch heavy as a person found out the other day in one of our parks when he got too close and an elephant dented in his roof with its trunk…
Bob … this is what you do so wonderful … and magnificent photos of a magnificent animal.
Love the comment about the rock …. I would say – just move it. *smile
Such a majestic animal, one of my very favorite! I would give anything to see one in real life! Beautiful, absolutely positively beautiful!
My favourite animal, so majestic & they have a great sense of humour. Or was that you? Love these shots. So, so jealous.
Thanks ,, no all the elephant talking…LOL
I thought so. 🙂
Loving both the elephant shots and your creative comments, Bulldog! 🙂
Thanks Penny.. again much appreciated
Love these photos!
Thanks
I absolutely adore elephants.
I do too… one of the favourites that I seek every time I go to the parks…
I can’t imagine seeing one (or more) of the giants in the wild. They are intimidating enough at a zoo… Amazing photos.
Thanks Lorna… they are not to dangerous if you know what signs to look for… they tend to warn you to get out the way… if you don’t well your car can receive a free panel beating…
Must be fascinating to watch and photo elephants in their natural habitat. Thanks for sharing another treat Bulldog.
Thanks Brian… that it surly is…
they are great and your photographs are amazing… Thank you, love, nia
Thanks Nia..
Still the most amazing animals! I can’t imagine how overjoyed I’d feel to be so close, Rob. Wonderful photos!
It is a wonderful feeling one never tires of…
I have never seen an elephant in the wild. Lucky lucky you to live in such a wild and majestic place.. Oh how I would love to visit, just imagine! c
Cecila… your welcome anytime… they are a beautiful sight to see….
Great shot! I think he is camera shy….. 🙂
These beauties shy.?? No wonder I find some hiding behind trees….lol
lovely photos and still more interesting captions
Thank you…
As always, beautiful pics …. and I’m enjoying your adaption of Zannyro style prose.
Glad of that Frank… thank you…

Such beautiful photos, Bulldog.
Thank you..
Do as many postings as you like on Elephants – love them! Such amazing creatures and so graceful for their size. Awesome captions as always.
Have so many photos, I could post everyday (6 photos) for the whole year… take far to many of Ellies…
Wonderful! Especially the last one!
Thanks Mrs.P.
Fun. Thank you bulldog. Elephants are such amazing creatures.
Thanks Russ… I do enjoy the sightings…
Such magnificent creatures! I believe that elephant is actually looking at the croc – I love the ‘big lizard’ caption 😉
He actually went up to torment the croc… I suppose just showing who’s the Boss…
Elephants are one of my daughter’s favourite animals. And they are so beautiful and majestic!
I agree.. I can sit and watch them for hours… somehow they can pass a message to a whole herd spread in thick bush and all do what the Boss wants… I love them…
Awww, I love these creatures. Thanks for sharing such wonderful images of them.
Thank you Gina.. glad you enjoyed…
LOVE elephants…..lucky you to get to view them like this! Wonderful shots!
I love them too… such gentle giants.. that can be bad news if you don’t know their warning signs…
I don’t think I’d ever be close enough to KNOW their warning signs! 😉
The wonderful animals you get to photograph!! Great shots. That first one would be perfect for a “Oh no! Monday!” caption 🙂
Thank you so much
Such beautiful, gentle giants bulldog and you’ve captured them so beautifully my friend. Thanks for sharing. 😀 *hugs*
Thanks Sonel…

It is a privilege to see… and a wonderfully exciting sighting as well
I love to see elephants but I’m sure if I were a farmer I wouldn’t feel the same about them.
they don’t do that much damage here any more… but yes I suppose a farmer would not be happy to see a herd of these heading his way…
