That's a wonderful picture at the top, a real catch.
That looks like a little guy, (if you want to call him little or is it a she?) Good picture!!
I've always been fascinated with elephants ! Great shots- May I use one as a screensaver here at my work?
Marvelous fun photos of the elephants. You get my vote for most original :D
Thanks for visiting, have a great day.
Sweet shots! just how big is that zoo? I've never been there and was wondering if it is worth the stop..:-)
I love all the water droplets! Doesn't it look refreshing?
I don't quite know why but I just love to look at elephants. It might be the softness of the eyes that gets me all peaceful and happy. Love the pictures Lisa.
super cute picture
Wow, that's' cool. Excellent.
This is so neat. You took 2 great photos.
Send that elephant to me - we had no rain for two weeks here in NC - the elephant seem to cover a lot of area in one stroke :)
This is a wonderful WW post! Thanks for sharing it! Luanne
so cute! i love the first picture with all the splashes. but they're both really great.
On training of an older horse, I'd have to know specifically what he/she already knows or issues you're having with him or her? But basically we were taught by our trainer it does not matter the age you do the same techniques just different lengths of time...young ones having shorter attention spans. He was a John Lyons certified instructor that said the #1 rule is YOU don't get hurt and #2 the HORSE does not get hurt and we have always remembered it! A lot of common sense is used too and thinking how a horse reacts in a herd situation....they see us as herd members! Teaching the foal to disengaged hind quarters after he's learned haltering WELL/giving to pressure will keep handlers safe. If you have more specifics, I'd love to answer your questions to help in any way. Tell Val to handle, handle and handle! Pick up feet, mess with head, ears, hind end (if she's going to breed later), take temp.etc. Getting them used to as much as possible but keep it short, pick one thing at a time and work on it or just running through a line of things quickly daily will help. This is all stuff we did with Romeo and it was a good thing because we had to give shots, take temp. twice daily along with many other things! We're glad he was so calm @ university for testing because we did all of it before hand! People just don't handle the foals enough and wait too long. This is just our experience with them and our opinion, there's many different things people do to train them but this works!! Some people halter right away and others don't for example but we've had two foals, one that came to our farm with little handling at a few weeks old and the other, Romeo who was born here and had handling immediately! Hope this helps! Luanne
What a happy little camper :D
These shots totally make me grin.
Thanks for that! :D
I love the first shot with the water flying off of the elephant. :)
Thank you for the comment you left on my post. Last night was really really hard and the family and I kept reading through the comments as they brought us some comfort.
Read your other posts - you guys sure are involved in some neat things - my dad does a little single action shooting competitions here and there. He really enjoys it too.
The buffalo picture are just wild.

Flephants seem to be a favorite with this crowd!!! I have an elephant colllection that I started when my husband and I got married...now I want to collect horses!

That looks like a fabulous way to cool off!
Those water splashes made Albert so happy! Great macros on Albert!
The first shot is just magnificent! A marvellous capture.

Wow what beautiful pictures, I love the way you managed to capture the water droplets in mid air - very cool. FYI It is actually an Indian elephant you have there, African elephants have much bigger ears, I know because they used to roam all around my house when I lived in Zambia :)
Albert sure looks like he's having a wonderful time!
These are great watery shots!
