I finally caught Cee’s Black and White Challenge topic with time to participate; this week’s them is “Close Ups”. And me being me, I thought what better subject for a close-up than elephants!
I hope you enjoy, have a great day!

Any day is a good day for posting an elephant photo 🙂 Here’s one from the time we got stuck in the river we spent so long watching the ellies.
Happy Friday Everyone!

2016-03-10: WPC Harmony
A warm sunny day, brilliant blue skies, lush green grasses and trees. And an elephant. Of course there’s an elephant. 🙂
My take on nature working in perfect, beautiful harmony. And a reminder of a wonderfully happy day.
Have a great day!
2016-03-07: Monochrome Monday & WPC Muse
I decided to combine my usual Monochrome Monday with a WPC topic of the week: Muse. What topic do I return to time and time again? What subject inspires me? What am I ALWAYS excited to photograph?
If you’ve read this blog for more than a week, you’ll know the answer, it’s easy:
Elephants 🙂
I’d happily spend a day, a week, a lifetime in the presence of elephants. Photographing them of course, but more importantly just being in their presence, enjoying their rumbles and trumpeting, feeling the vibrations of their communications at levels we can’t hear, revealing in their beautiful, peaceful nature.
Here are a couple photos that popped out at me this time for editing and posting.
Enjoy, and have a wonderful week.
Note – this isn’t the current WPC topic of the week… not even close. But when I was looking for the current one, this spoke one spoke to me. Onto Harmony later in the week.

2016-01-26: WPC Optimistic
I am optimistic that all of these beautiful creatures will have the opportunity to live out their lives in the way nature intended, without the influence of poacher’s or trophy hunter’s bullets. That is my hope, and if like minded people continue to join together, perhaps it will happen in my lifetime.
