Today’s Photo Of The Day is “What Was That?” by Stacy Howell. Location: Madikwe, South Africa.

“South Africa is having a horrible drought,” explained Howell, “which is making the waterholes a hotbed of activity. These zebras were so skittish, I don’t think the one who startled even got a drink before running off. We never saw what startled him.”

Photo of the Day is chosen from various OP galleries, including Assignments, Your Favorite Places and the OP Contests. Assignments have weekly winners that are featured on the OP website and social media. To get your photos in the running, all you have to do is submit them.
