Coming from the tropics, we are never short of heat. The weather may be dry or wet, but it’s always warm, very warm or intolerably warm. Cool spells, when they occur, are regarded with shock and amazement.
For this week’s photo challenge, I chose a picture to reflect both the heat of the day, and the enduring warmth between an elephant and his keeper. As I mentioned in my previous post on this topic, an elephant and his keeper are bonded for life, beginning from the time the baby elephant is assigned to a young man in the elephant-keeping family.

To read more about the elephants, here are the two previous posts:
1. Weekly Photo Challenge: Create – see the elephants painting
2. Pachyderm Paradise – many more pictures from the elephant camp.
My favorite animal on the whole planet! 🙂 Thank you for posting.

I believe that dogs and horses can bond with their person very intimately also. I’m sure there are other social animals who love their human caretakers so completely. It is beautiful to see.
