    I LOVE this for theme day– just that little bit of red surrounded by a sweet, gray face! Very nice.

    Just love this. Such detail. How delicately the elephant picks handles the red item. Perhaps you coloured in red whatever it was. I don’t care. I love it!

    Great close-up with that one melancholy eye. I think he would like a bigger apple. :)

    This is an awesome shot! I didn’t even realize that elephants have long hair on their trunks until today. But those prehensile trunk tips are really amazing.

    Perfect and wonderful choice for the theme!

    A very dramatic photo and perfect choice for the theme.

  • Magnificent photo. The delicacy of the animal so big and the sweetness of the apple … This image could not be more poetic and beautiful to illustrate the theme of April.
