Gemma,
Sorry I've caused problems on comment section. I'm also trying to get my photo to show up with my comment. I don't know why it doesn't show up. I guess I should just comment as Norma Ruttan. thank you for fixing the problem!

I love the way cities have these colorful animal statues. I have seen them in in different areas of Florida and Georgia with turtles and dolphins and in Kentucky with horses.
The elephant is so colorful and full of fun faces. Love it!

Great elephant decoration. I saw decorated elephants in Paris and Amsterdam and they were on auction for a good purpose. Looks it is going around the world.
