Eye of Tembo

While I was on Safari at the Ol Pejete Conservancy in Kenya, we came across a group of elephants near a river with a lot of bushes. I observed an elephant that was relatively close, chewing on leaves and just enjoying himself. I zoomed in quite close of his eye just as he had moved and a glint of light highlighted his bottom lashes. The eye itself is not as obvious and as you follow the highlighted lash up to the eye it leads you to a beautiful surprise, as most people do not know that elephants eyes are a gorgeous orange-amber color.
