you wrapped up before I could find the elephants :-) finally found them
by backing up a frame by left arrowing... after seeing all the comments
on them..
yes, wow , impressive! .. but I alos found from right arrowing a lot
several lovely bird photos I had not seen before.. in addition to the
recen Heron silhouette.. but I don't know how to ID them.. they don't
have titles or numbers that I can see..
Three large long legged birds sipping water stood out.. one smaller A
couple and a chick? storks?
also a lonely bird with big eye standing alone on the shore.. who is that?
Great shot of two heron's on opposite shores of a stream
likewise that hyenna starying you down.. hillarious!
Don't know how I missed them -- maybe some disconnect with flicker and
my browser.. or just that they were psoted when I wasn't reading the list.

Thanks, Paul, Henk, Bob & anyone else who looked.
The major rivers have sand beds several metres deep so the water
continues to flow out of sight through the sand. Exposed "pools" are
actually places where the sand is less deep. Elephants excavate the
sand in times of drought to get access to water. The authorities also
help with heavy earth moving equipment when considered necessary.
Kruger publishes guidelines about how to behave when near elephants.
Basically keep out of their way & don't try anything stupid. Normal
herds are fairly tolerant of cars but bulls in musth see them as
competitors & can become very agressive. I have seen rolled cars &
smashed caravans.
South African English has adopted several words from Afrikaans & Black
languages. An international one I can think of is "trek".

Nice elephant image...I would have backed up, too, if I'd seen them
coming at me. I took a look at your week ago image of the Letaba
River, too. Quite a difference in flow. And...I now know the
definition of stoep and bundu - two words that weren't in my
glossary. 😁
