Daily inspiration - Ella: The Elephant

I am fascinated by elephants. I love how gentle they are and how friendly and unassuming they can be. Elephants have always been my favourite animals.

Imagine my delight when I found this: A cluster of trees which look just like a baby elephant from a distance. One morning, I was sipping tea and looking out the window of my living room and I happened to see this and thought to myself, wait a minute, doesn’t that look just like a baby elephant? And sure enough, it did….at least, to my eyes.

I mean we have all seen trees cut in the shape of animals…in parks or in the zoo. But this is 100% natural where such a  beautiful illusion is created when you look at these cluster of trees from a certain angle.

And when the wind blows, the trees sway around, giving the illusion of the baby elephant moving its trunk and body.

I found this extremely delightful to watch and nowadays my favourite thing to do is to watch this baby elephant while having my morning tea. 

Oh!! And and for some strange reason which I cannot understand myself, I started calling her Ella!!

Can you spot her in the pics??

And that's her silhouette in the twilight
