Late this afternoon I headed out of our lodge and took a stroll in the village. My first encounter was a 9-month old baby elephant. OMG. How cute was this baby!!! Adorable. I hung around as close to him as possible for a long while then headed on a stroll through the village. I just loved this village. So clean with not a piece of trash around and all the homes were built using natural resources. Here are some photos from my evening walk.

The moment in the afternoon that I nearly died from cuteness overload. I spent around 45 mins hanging out as close as possible to the baby elephant.

A big part of taking photos is observation I feel. Observing what is around and what is coming up next. I planted myself in position and waited for these girls to cycle into the frame.
