Trunks of love
Those readers who follow my blog, know that I am a student of and have an interest in photography. At one time I worked as a professional photographer, but now I enjoy it as an enthusiastic hobbyist.
My interest has led me to follow a number of photographers via the Internet. I review dozens of articles each day and one of my latest reads was “Preparing for a Safari Trip to Afric.” This essay had many fine photographs and hints for those who want to embark on a photographic safari to Africa. You are certainly welcome to visit the site and read the article. If you are only interested in the photographs, you will be equally rewarded.
One such photograph that I found particularly poignant, is the baby and mother elephant below. These beautiful and noble creatures are under pressures from poachers and deserve our attention. I think they are majestic and worth protecting.
PS – If you are interested in a photo safari, read the comments as well!
