Elephants excitedly covering themselves in red dust/mud at a watering hole. A crocodile idly stretches out along the water edge, unconcerned.

Pure excitement of a group of elephants arriving at the waterhole, for a drink and a refreshing splash. A large elephant at the front of the group throws rusty colored dirt onto its back. The dust shower was so intense at times that one could barely see the elephants through it. A baby elephant is completely covered in wet mud. A large crocodile lounges peacefully with no concern for the elephants that could easily trample it. Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Falling into the vortex.

A water strider making ripples in a pool of water, in a small stream. I think it looks a bit like a skydiver, arms and legs spread out, freefalling into a vortex or portal. Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Often seen as pests, or ignored because they are so common, the rock dove (common pigeon), can still make for nice bird to photograph.
