Lunchtime

Description

It was snack time for the elephants and we could hear them cracking the branches before we could even see them.
It was fascinating to watch them pick up the branch - break it - and bring it around to their mouths.
This big guy dropped a little piece ;)
Taken on an over cast noon. Cropped and sharpened slightly.

Thank you for stopping by my gallery and for your support and kind words!
