Juhuuuu! It’s elephant time of year again since today is the birthday of my elephant-collecting friend.
I miss you and wish you could come here just by wishing.
First some images from our lovely summer picnic by your lake Mengeš (even many compatriots don’t know that it exists). Thank you for the lovely day and your present: the magic saucer.
Three graces in 1987 and always with me.
Mother and son.
The best smile reserved for water, just like your mother’s.
Now I’m sorry I didn’t join you.
Luxury! We had such a great time.
These parents almost didn’t let us leave.
Your present: the cup is plain but reflects the pattern of the saucer.
And now a collection of elephants spotted in my travels. Whenever I see one, I must take a photo. This way you’re with me all the time. Also, they are never real since I don’t go to zoos or to elephant-growing places.
Siena: See if you recognise somebody. And now let’s look at the ceiling.
Pretty. And isn’t that…?
Yes, it is. No. 1.
No. 2. An old shop in Lokev, Slovenia, has a trio of them.
Number 3.
Number 4. All three are saying in Italian that they carry Dutch coffee.
5 and 6. Mother and son?
They are from Gorenjska, that’s why they are little. 😀 Kranj, Slovenia.
7, 8, 9, 10 in Maribor, Slovenia.
11. in Piran. My father told me to take a photo of it for Taja.
I replied that I had already. 🙂
12, 13, 14, 15 in Talamone, Italy. The wind was playing with the curtain and I spotted them.
And finally no. 16 not far from us when amore buys his paint.
Dear Taja, happy elephant day and I wish you come to visit me again! Guest room is pink now so that elephants can’t hide in it. 😀 Cin cin and all well!
Yes, I’ve been seeing doors for quite some time, but they have been incidental to my pursuit of shadows. Now I am chasing coastlines. Bloggers/artists/poets see things others miss/ignore!
Such a great collection! when you search, you find, even elephants in Slovenia. Hmm, let me think… what exotic thing would I like to go for in Norway?))
Thank you, Marina! Hihi, let’s see… How about pineapple? 😉 (Just kidding, you told me they were a thing recently.) The thing is I’m not searching for them, they find me. 🙂
Happy birthday to your friend.
While I am not an elephant collector, I do gravitate toward them. They’re just so hopeful.
