I am however very happy that these elephants are sacred in India, therefore treated as such.<br /> As always, your posts are so interesting as well as beautiful- what a lovely way to spend my coffee time- with you!<br />Jackie ")Jackie PNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400208631365548141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7751404721211069030.post-81633567493984276542017-11-25T14:41:17.475-05:002017-11-25T14:41:17.475-05:00Those colors are magnificent, aren't that.

They are stunningly beautiful. I can't bear to think of what an elephant must have to go through to allow this beauty to be created. Glad at least the color is the same as humans use on themselves.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615007932636751108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7751404721211069030.post-80265880333098192692017-11-25T06:41:11.873-05:002017-11-25T06:41:11.873-05:00Tristan,

Before Barnum and Bailey retired the elephants, they used to have beautiful sequined blankets or why ever you call them that they used to put on them for the circus parade. Thanks so much for stopping by and your sweet comments!!<br />Hugs,<br />DebDebbie-Dabble Blog and A Debbie-Dabble Christmashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393980831584145593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7751404721211069030.post-33256095377536866562017-11-24T17:14:46.535-05:002017-11-24T17:14:46.535-05:00Hi Tristan,

They are such great, gentle creatures to let themselves be painted, but it would be really nice if they were left alone to be wild. <br />I love elephants and would often visit them at the Toronto Zoo when they were there. They have been moved to a more suitable environment where they are allowed to roam and the weather is warmer. I do miss them, but I also know that they are better off out of Toronto.<br />In keeping with your theme, I believe that somewhere in Africa there is a practice of painting cows.Barbarahttps://fairmeadowplace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
