ELEPHANT LOVE

I have always been in love with elephants.  This gigantic creature of survival and strength with a heart as big as it's head.  When I redid my bathroom I bought a photography book all of elephants and cut them out and framed them.  I bought an elephant sculpture for the back of my toilet.  I love watching shows about elephants.  Odd that you could draw strength from an animal, but I do draw strength from the stories of the matriarch.  Their leadership and strength and will to overcome is inspiring even to a human.

I came across this awesome tumblr all about elephants.  Check it out.  Total heart. F*ck Yeah Elephants!
