The Big Stretch
This adult male elephant in the Etosha National Park enjoyed a dust bath before starting to feast on the fresh new leaves high up in a thorn tree. The dust coat helps to protect them from the sun and biting insects. I just loved to see the raw strength of this mighty animal when it grabbed large branches in its trunk and leaned back to break the branch, thus reaching the soft new leaves. By "looking up" he can reach his goal. Likewise, we can spot opportunities by leaving our comfort zone.
