Another shot from our South Africa tour last September.  Addo Elephant National Park is an excellent place to see and photograph elephant herds.  This group was coming in to drink at a waterhole.

What a wonderful image of this family Nate! Classic protective formation with the calves placed in between the bigger ones - and that tiny newborn is just so adorable. The head on view is just right to give the best view here. Love it!
