Dog Day Afternoons.

[Dewi]

"Hey Tannie, I'm bored."

"No need to get bored is there. Just watch the elephants and see how they bend their trunks like this piece of reed here."



"But Tannie, there are lots of elephants here, I see them all the time."

"Then look closer, you will see how flexible their trunks really are, just like this piece of reed here."



"They put the food into their mouths with the tip of their trunks, just like I'm doing here."

"Oh no Tannie, not you also."



"Mmmm. this is quite tasty. I think I'll eat like an elephant from now on."

"Please Tannie, I'm getting really bored now."



"Then why don't you try some meditation. Ohmm....Ohhmm...Ohhhmmmm."

"Oom who?"



"Ohmm...Ohhmmm..Ohhhmmmm...It's really relaxing you know."

"Nah. I'm still bored."



"Can't we do something interesting Tannie?"

"Why not play Pooh sticks?"



"Heres a good one to try."

"I've got my own thanks."



"Oooh look. A swimming elephant."

"I see you are not bored anymore."

"Then why don't you try some meditation. Ohmm....Ohhmm...Ohhhmmmm."

"Oom who?"

I am having cramps from laughing and the tears running

[nan]

[Lisbeth]

Dewi, I am still laughing................. (I have seen the monks doing the "oohm" thing) You have such a vivid fantasy, which is always spot on

[Richprins]

Foreign viewers must be deathly bored by now...

[Lisbeth]

Not at all

[Dewi]

Thanks for commenting Lis, Nan & I suppose RP.

Lots more boring old ellies to come here.....

[Dewi]

The swimming ellie stopped for a feed in the depths. This time he washed the roots before eating them.






Then moved out of the water onto the island.





Close up of the trunk in action.



Moving on, we managed to get even closer to a pair of elephants who allowed us some detail photos.







While this group enjoyed snacking in the late evening light.



And some shenannigans along the shoreline were also noted.

[Lisbeth]

Amazing animals You should have cleaned the eye of that one close up; you only had to stretch out the hand

You know we are trying to get major media houses to follow this internationally, Deli?
