Some Elephant Happiness

Photobucket

Have you ever touched an elephant's skin? It's so warm, smooth and hard at the same time, with lots of lines and patterns and some random hairs coming out :)

And did you know that elephants are actually more pink than blue? Just have a look at that wet baby elephant hiding under his mom. He is not more than a week old. Very cute!

Some snaps from Sri Lanka from a month back. For some reason it feels ages ago. I guess summer just can not be followed by winter in my head...

In Russian there is a set expression quite commonly used coloquially: 'happy as an elephant'. I was observing these guys for so long... Some seemed really wise and sad instead...
