Default Guess whose coming for lunch

OK technically we had finished lunch but here are the visitors who arrived shortly after our morning game drive and lunch

1st came the elephants

clearly boundaries are irrelevant here

DSC_0342_2

time for a cool down (you might want to view this in large on flickr)

Elephant cool down

probably not my best shot but I think it sums up one of my overriding thoughts during that time - "who needs to go out if you get a show like this every day?"

DSC_0372

more after lunch images to come - thanks for looking and hope you enjoy them

These are superb Sheldon, there will not be an inch of space left in your house when you get all these printed, framed and hanging on the walls

Looked at it in the large size, is that a snake that`s in the picture? These are terrific shots of what must have been some adventure.

What a great set of shots. Had to have the adrenalin pumping when it walked into the lobby.
