    Adam!! We have been in your store in Cape Town near the aquarium and we absolutely love the pictures you take! It was so nice to meet you there and wishing you all the best with your YT channel and obviously with your business! We love watching your videos, it brings us back to the beautiful nature with the animals in its natural habitat. For us our absolute highlight of all our trips!

I saw the photograph of that magnificent lion and knew I had to have it. He hangs majestically over our sofa and every time I look at him he takes my breath away. Your passion for animals and your incredible photography is such an inspiration...I even booked a safari and bought a new camera after seeing your work. Hopefully my dream of taking beautiful photos in the wild will come true next year...in the meantime, thank you for your amazing work and letting me still dream...

    I was lucky enough to be in S Africa and Vic Falls in January - just before all the COVID business - that's when I discovered your brilliant work, Adam, at the Watershed. Together with a friend and colleague, we'd brought a group for a tour (Mindful Africa). it was a magical experience for me and for all of us. your videos bring it all back, and add so much more. what an incredible experience to stay at the waterhole and in the hide. I hope to get to do it someday. love the elephants, and the thunder, and the rain. wow. thanks so much.

Your videos and work are so inspiring and I really appreciate you two filming your adventures and allowing us to experience these amazing places with you.

    one more question, Adam - around minute 5 on, you captured a beautiful moment between two elephants holding on to each other's trunks. one's gray and the other much darker. what accounts for such a difference in the color? is this just the natural range of colors, are these different kinds of elephants? thanks.

    • @dinawyshogrod9112
      @dinawyshogrod9112 4 года назад

      HI again. I first saw this video which included that amazing sight of the two elephants holding "hands"/trunks only a few days ago, -- and yet so much has happened since then, especially in America, where I'm originally from. I was curious about what may account for the striking difference in colors between the elephants. Whatever the reason, I was very moved by this lovely moment of connection between these amazing animals. And now, given the recent upsurge of bigotry and violence in the US, I see this through an even more poignant lens. If only people were able to hold "hands" like this, notwithstanding differences in colors and hues, just connecting with each other… We humans still have so much to learn. thanks for the reminders of all that is beautiful -- and worth emulating -- out there in the world.
