Crocs and Elephants

[Morkel Erasmus]

A fun shot from the private waterhole in Etosha (Namibia) I was fortunate to visit earlier this year...
Can you spot the "crocs"?

That's just how we roll in Africa!

[Rachel Hollander]

Morkel - they're on your feet! Fun shot and nice low pov.

[Marina Scarr]

Rachel...that is TOO funny! Terrific image and TFS. Nice to see you out in the field doing what you love to do and do so well.

[Christopher Miller]

Could you ask for anything better? A whole herd of elephants in front of you and beautiful light!

[LinzRiverBalmer]

Ok I admit I was really looking hard for the crocodiles, i love the species, and finally noticed your feet.... Haha

thats how I role too but discovered crocs get slippery on concrete, or Mississippi mud if you ever watch Gator Boys.

i like the five toe shoes now.

[James Shadle]

After 30 minutes I gave up.

I'm pretty good at spotting crocodilians but I'm no fashionista.
Thank goodness I went back and read Rachel's reply.

This post put a smile on face Morkel, a friend of mine wore a pair into a lagoon sank about two feet into the bottom we never saw the crocs again

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

First thing I noticed was the great light on YOU. I then searched and searched and thought what the heck how come I cant see um? Haaaa Thanks Rachel for letting me know Im not crazy...at least not about the crocs :) Nice to see one of the best out in the field in action

ROFL...You got me!
I showed this to my staff and 1 colleague and none of us got it until I scrolled down to Rachel's post!

It was the quotation marks around crocs that gave it away for me.

LOL good fun everyone.
FWIW - I also don't use crocs on wet rocks or tiles. Once fell at the mall with my boy in my arms. Bruised myself but protected him at least

...and FYI - when I said "that's how we roll" I wasn't referring to the shoes, but to being on foot close to elephants

Ha ha Morkel, I did a cmd+ on my Apple and put my glasses on to search for your crocs It's late and I am tired and I have just finished working on a Bateleur, masking the poor bird for about two hours, wing tip after wing tip-thought my eyes gave in! Well I had a laugh and I am still laughing, you made my evening, mate! Please keep that hat on, the sun is gonna get you! Great shot, really enjoyed this post and all the comments, have a great week-end, chat soon,
