Trunk Play


	Trunk Play The trunk of the elephant plays a key role in social interactions and they say that an elephant never forgets. Perhaps this elephant remembers all of the times I have stood by his enclosure and spoke to him like he was my best friend and he decided to have a little fun with me by playing hide and seek with his trunk. Or perhaps his trunk just needed a rest. Melissa Olsen

Thanks Jeff and Kirsten.
This lovable guy has a big place to play in but for some reason he just wanted to stay behind the wall waving his trunk up and down. LOL

What a sweet, sweet capture, Melissa...and what a wonderful friend you've been to this big guy...and I think, truly, he feels a kindred spirit in you - yep, I believe there is a definite connection just by the look in his eyes - direct eye contact with you. Wonderful capture - a beautiful b/w, sensitively and beautifully done.

Hey Melissa, Love the eyes on this BIG fellow. I think he remembers you, by the way he is resting there.

You have a great day and take care my friend.
