Annamaria on Monday
Many, many things about Africa draw me back as often as I can be there. I feel incredibly lucky that I have gone as often as I have. I never tire of riding around in the wilderness and looking at whatever there is to see. To me, everything is wonderful.
But nothing is more beautiful to see than the baby animals growing up in the wild. Of them, my favorite by far are the baby elephants.
Here are some cuties from fifteen years of watching them.

The ranger who was driving us when we happened upon this little sweetheart
said the baby was less than an hour old. We sat and watched for a while and ... |
 |
| ...the little own got up and started to walk. Be still my heart! |
 |
| After a while the newborn caught up with the waiting herd. |
 |
| I love the way the herd bunches up to protect the young ones. |
 |
| Watching baby elephants nurse. How nice! |
 |
| New York kids would instantly recognise this as a play date! |
 |
| Another NYC analogy: Stay close to mommy when you cross the street. |
 |
| My favorite baby elephant shot EVER! |
Here a very brief video so you can see them gamboling. Still shots don't show the half of how very lovely they are.
