Another from the Lower Zambezi on the day we followed the elephants. This was taken earlier in the day, again from the pontoon boat (two canoes with a platform and an outboard motor) with two other guests, the guy who ran the bush camp and a local who drove the boat. This was a bit of a stand off between us and the elephants as we were preventing them from getting back into the Zambezi. Shortly after this was taken, we had to back up and let them into the river - you can see they're a bit agitated here and there's nothing worse than a cross elephant.
Thanks for looking and for your time and interest.
I'm now playing nursemaid for a week as Christopher had his knee operation this morning, but is already back home.

Brilliant title and image Ann, love it.
Have a smashing Weekend.

Something along the lines of your title was going through my mind as I worked down the frame to the egret. Wonderful.
It does remind me in a way of my nephew's wedding day. Come the evening, the groom, best man and ushers , all six-foot-plus, TA members and built like brick outhouses, wanted to change into jeans. The bride, tiny, size 6, stamped her foot and said 'We've paid enough for those suits, you're wearing them'. The lads looked very much like your elephants, in various ways...

Superb image, Ann. You've been keeping these hidden. The elephants on their own are so well caught but with dat birdie .... superb.
Dave
Wonderful shot Ann three elephants captured to perfection and the bird is......well superb.
John
Fantastic shot Ann, superb detail, don't think i would want to come face to face with them :-0

Love these animals and your capture of them in the wild is superb Ann.

I agree, there is nothing worse than a cross elephant. But you captured this scene beautifully
A very clever title Ann, you can talk to the animals. The elephants lppl huge beside the White Heron, and also appear to be listening to it. One of these magical moments when humans see animals naturally, how lucky you are to have witnessed this.
I hope that Christopher heals quickly and is back out with his fishing rods again soon. Trapping an outdoor person in bed is a hard thing to handle. Trapping a photographer indoors is hard too.

Brilliant capture! I love the way the bird doesn't seem at all put out by these large creatures! Great!
Carol
An inspired title, Ann, and an excellent image of elephants with attitude.
A tremendous trio, these gentle giants are posing perfectly for you. They certainly are powerful and magnificent animals
