I love the colors in this one, Colette! It's a shame the way the zoos make it so hard for us to photograph the beautiful animals with the barriers, etc. Our zoo in Montgomery recently got some elephants. I'm hoping we will have a day warm enough over Christmas that I can go see them! Thanks for stopping to comment on my most recent "Little Green Bee" entry! #2174013
