My weekly “Texture Tuesday” continues with this photo of an elephant walking through the brush toward our safari vehicle. This photo was from my first trip to South Africa in 2016. We flew into Johannesburg early for a couple of day trips before our safari. Our first excursion took us on a day trip to Pilanesberg National Park and Game Reserve. This was taken in the late morning with the temperature approaching scorching. It was one of my first encounters with the magnificence of the animals of South Africa. It has become a favorite location and I hope to get back there a year from now.
