Herd that?

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, United States) on 7 July 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

A herd of elephants crosses a road in the Masai Mara region of Kenya.

Please pray for Bella.

Bella Update: 07/26/08. Saturday. Bella's good this morning; walk was fun/no squirrels, but we did a different block than usual. She likes variety. Breakfast -- meds soon, the post-walk routine. She slept better last night than the one before. Panting still, but it's hot. So, thank you God for another morning blessing today.

Bella and I are grateful for each of you, for caring and singing (love is all around...), and especially for praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.

What we have right now are day by day blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle, slowly unfolding.

The elephants are beautiful! They seem so alert and alive, unlike the ones I've seen in captivity. Great shot.

@Seraphine: You cannot imagine what this is like, to see these herds roaming freely under the big, unlimited Kenya sky. You also can't imagine how fast they can move...

Not recently :)

That one in the rear looks like he has taken an interest in you.

Great shot.

@MontereyJohn: Let's just say that big bull elephant was "focused" and scared the bejeebers out of all of us in the safari van.

Where did you take this shot? I like it!

@Rags: Taken at the Masai Mara in Kenya, which is part of the Serengeti Plain that stretches into Tanzania. Think Lion King.

@bronzebilly u.k.: Let me say that after I snapped this shot, that big bull turned toward us and did a quick fake charge. Everybody, including the driver of our safari van, nearly had heart failure. It was exciting and terrifying and amazing all in one.

Spectacular! It looks at the photographer of an air supris! Very beautiful image

10 Jul 2007 4:58pm

@Line: Thank you. It looked at us a second later with an air of "I'm gonna trample you!" Wild, these elephants are both amazing and dangerous.
