You will find these frolicking elephants at the famous Appleton Museum in Ocala.

  1. They are very cute - they look like baby elephants! What do they have in their trunks?

    (And, do they each get their own golf cart?)

  6. That would go well with my GOP post, LOL. I dont usually vote Republican, but the county I live in has maybe 3 Democrats that hold office and running only two candidates in the upcoming election. If you want a say you have to vote R. All incumbent Rs have primary opponents, which made the forum interesting. I also think when voting for judges they pick the party in power. If the Dems was the majority party they all would be Dems.

  8. What an awesome water fountain! Did you turn off the water to the elephant trunks, Jacob?!

  9. @ Small City - I wondered about that, too. Looks like spears, but I think they may represent snakes?

  11. Awesome fountain, their pose is so natural and funny. The statue of the horse in background looks like a real one passing by...

  12. I love this! What a great fountain. I don't think I've ever seen a fountain featuring elephants before. I see the horse that you posted a while back too!

  16. They look pretty cool! Are this lotus blossoms they are holding?
    I think I recognize the horse in the background, right? :-)

  17. What are they up to? Looks like they're excited looking for adventures (or trouble...)!
    God bless you!

  20. @ Susie - I think so, but I've never been there when they've done so.

    @ JM - Could be lotus blossoms ... and yes, that horse was a featured post a while back.

  21. If Brown takes out Coakley in Mass. Tuesday, the elephants will indeed have something to frolic about!
    ;-)

  23. @ la Vache - That would be the beginning of the end of the world as we know it...we just can't survive with any more elephants in Congress...

    They've driven us into this deep black hole and then try to blame Obama for not turning everything around in 12 months!

  24. @ Blossom Flower Girl - I didn't know that. I have heard that you should have an elephant pointing toward your door - that brings good luck!

    Heh, heh!

  25. You knew I had to comment on the elephants once I got out of work mode. Such a cool fountain. I was going to ask about the "pikes" they're carrying, but I've just read they may be lotus. That's a nicer image! This is wonderful!
