Elephant

357 - An unpleasant dull grey damp day here, so the walk that I had planned is delayed, and I decided to do shots of a number of our ornaments instead.

This metal elephant is another gift that my wife received from her Ukrainian relatives. I love the bold colours on it - a great antidote to the greys outside!
It's very cheerful - love the colours and a great photo against the white.

Thank you all for your positive comments, they are appreciated. Many of you commented on the colours - these kinds of bright strong colours are quite typical of Ukrainian art.
