Ok, enough of the Elephants ... well, just two more:
Africa's version of Venison:
Dang those trees the birds sit on, and Elephants and Giraffes (among others) eat are
nasty:
A duck survives in Africa?!
Days later, I flew in a balloon ... but for now, "eet eez Baboon!"
Finally a glimpse of what became all our favorites, the giraffe:
Later in the Segengeti, I got shots of Giraffes fighting. That's in a few days.
Our first glimpse of Lions from afar... I couldn't really make them out through the view finder. I shot almost blindly. Amazed I get 'anything'!
So many more incredible lion shots to come days later...
Finally, to close out the day, I

If you look @ the original in my Fotki gallery, you can see the motion blur of the 1/8 degree the world turns in that 30 second exposure time.
