Yala National Park was my favorite part of Sri Lanka.  Getting to see leopards, elephants, water buffalo, monkeys, and peacocks all in the same day in their natural habitat was incredible.  My favorite part was seeing the elephants.  I could have watched them all day.  It’s easy to forget what majestic beings we are sharing the earth with, and a visit here will remind you of why we need to all do our part to protect it.  I feel a lot of gratitude for the chance to have seen these animals and to have had the opportunity to be so close to them.  I hope these pictures of Yala Park will give you a sense of what it was like to be there.

Ok, the cow wasn’t in Yala Park ,but on the way back from there.  I felt just plain sorry for him.
