'Icy Creamy'

From June till September, 21 decorated life size elephants brightened the streets of Calais, France. These parades have taken place in many countries to raise awareness of Elephant conservation. Some elephants even came from other parades in Milan, U.K. and Hong Kong

I love the animals such as this! This is my first "elephant", though the first I ever saw were "Cows" in Chicago and versions of "Mickey Mouse" in Los Angeles.

I just read the news yesterday, some cruel poachers killed 14 elephants. It makes me so angry.

We had a similar elephant experience a couple years back in Fort Wayne, Indiana....I wonder if it was for the same reason?

thanks for your lovely comments. If I had spent more time in Calais I would have tried to find all the elephants. Certainly a fun way to draw attention to the need for protecting these wonderful animals.
