“Mother and Child”

"Mother & Child" Copyright Anne M. Freeman

This photo is from my photo safari in the Serengeti. I saw a lot of elephants, and enjoyed watching them interact with one another. The day was nearing its end (the sun rises and sets around 6:00 a.m and 6:00 p.m.), and this mother and child were making their way from a mud hole towards their resting grounds. Elephants love to roll in the mud, and the red earth of the area makes elephants look brownish red! They are wonderful animals, and I feel blessed to have seen them up close in natural.

Cheers!

The photo is so funny — and adorable —
In the same way we coo at a mother and child who look alike, usually from the front!
You’ve got us cooing about the resemblance from the rear (and I do mean rear) —
