Good evening from Italy I am still playing catch up after completing our olive harvest, which is why I have not visited for awhile. Lots to catch up on, love the elephants, we went to an elephant show in Thailand recently. As you are a keen photographer you may also be interested to hear I have started a photography blog. :)
Elephants are one of my favorite animals in the world. They're so intelligent - gentle giants. Thanks for sharing! Cindy

There is just no better way to start off a Holiday week for methan to go to the Houston Zoo.Last weekend was Pancakes with the Pachyderms,a celebration of the opening of the completion of the McNair elephant habitatand, as you can tell,taking pictures of the pancakes wasn't on my list of things to do!I will say that breakfast was very good ... a whole buffet spreadthat included eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, scones, breakfast rolls,Mimosas, Bloody Marys and you could order up an omelet if you wished.

The stars of the show were the Asian Elephants.Tess (with the blond hair at her ears), Tupelo (Tess' calf),Baylor and Shanti (Baylor's Mom).

Baby Tupelo seems to always take over the show.What a cutie and such a little squirt!

Tupelo had an exciting morning and was resting and thinkingabout what to get into next!

Tupelo and Baylor love their new space.It includes a big pool for them to play in.

Don't you just love elephants? I do, they are definitely intelligent, you only have to watch them for a minute or two to realise that.

We have deer and wild turkey roaming our property, it keeps the kittens amused.
