Mom and Baby Snuggling
I almost never use black and white for photos, and I am not sure I can say why I prefer it here- maybe it's about the stillness between these two, in an otherwise frenetic environment. The elephants are almost always on the move, especially in the dry season, when the days are spent foraging and travelling to watering holes to drink and bathe. There is a safety risk to cuddle time, and the hugs don't last as long as this little guy would like. But, I'd say they are making the most of it. #Hwange #Zimbabwe #zebra #savannah #conservation #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #natur #wildlife #natgeo #wildlifeconservation #ethicalwildlifephotography #natgeonature #natgeotravel #animalplanet #ecosystem #grassland #wildplanet #wildanimals #elphant #africanelephant #animalbabies #animalfamilies
Elephant Calf Asking to Nurse: It won't be long before this guy is ready to be cut of completely, but for now, well, it looks like he still knows how to get his mom to indulge him. #Hwange #Zimbabwe #zebra #savannah #conservation #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #natur #wildlife #natgeo #wildlifeconservation #ethicalwildlifephotography #natgeonature #natgeotravel #animalplanet #ecosystem #grassland #wildplanet #wildanimals #elphant #africanelephant #animalbabies #animalfamilies
For the first time since I played this on the radio in the mid 1980s, I heard this one on the radio today.

Zebra Kerfuffle: No one can go as fast from snuggles to scuffles as zebras can! I'm not sure what the fight was about or who won, but they seemed to feel they got it sorted in the end. #Hwange #Zimbabwe #zebra #savannah #conservation #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #natur #wildlife #natgeo #wildlifeconservation #ethicalwildlifephotography #natgeonature #natgeotravel #animalplanet #ecosystem #grassland #wildplanet #wildanimals
Face to face with nature in its most primal form. Still water, the soft rustle of leaves and him – calm, yet commanding respect. Moments like this remind me how wild and captivating the natural world can be.

A moment where nature reveals its wild side at its finest. A hawk lifting its catch above an empty beach and a weathered hut – pure freedom, strength and a touch of raw magic.

When curiosity wins – and a long neck with a pair of watchful eyes rises above the savannah. The giraffe surveys the world from up high, yet here it looks almost surprised to see us. African encounters always carry a touch of magic.
