In fact, I got rather ratty when stray human legs and arms spoilt my photo! But, as you say, every now and again, a bit of human interest can add a little something and I really liked the way this child snuggled up to the elephant.<br /><br />I wish I'd seen these wonderful creatures when I was the age of that youngster.Brian Sibleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395103557170474777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28039080.post-61600576583838074122010-05-20T00:34:33.953+01:002010-05-20T00:34:33.953+01:00I've been attempting to take my photos without...I've been attempting to take my photos without people in them where possible, but your 'Friends' photo just shows how much greater it can look with a little something extra added.

I have heard of a Yeti equivalent being hatched in the appropriate location of BIGFOOT Texas- I hope it becomes reality.
