A snack by the pool

What a crazy week this was! First I want to thank all who stopped by and commented on my last shot! I have been a little MIA lately so I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time even though I haven't been commenting a lot lately! You guys really make it easy to get through a tough week!

yesterday we went to the Safari Park to celebrate my father-in-laws 65th Bday. This was a shot of a baby elephant I caught having a little snack! It was soooo cute! We wanted to take it home for a pet but we just didn't have a couch big enough! :o)
Have a great Mon!
