  15. 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!

Always remember, a sign of shadows means a sign of light.
Namaste.
