I did not take this photograph. The team my grandson Matthew is with this summer did. The team -- three friends from university -- are spending all of June, July, and part of August in Kenya. The elephants were just strolling along near a road in Amboseli National Park.

Elephants are very big and very intelligent, and their eyesight is usually very poor. But there's something else you should know about elephants.

They never forget.
