Wednesday night, when I had work to do, I put on the 
Nature channel, it happened to be The Soul of the Elephant
A video that had me constantly turning from my task to watch.
Wildlife filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert take an intimate look at one of the world's most intelligent and sensitive animals.


It brought back vivid memories of visiting Lion Country Safari,
(1970-1984) which is gone now, but was nearby, back in 1971.



We had a VW bus, and 6 visiting relatives from Indiana. Mom, Aunt Vonda, Aunt Martha, Uncle Jewell, Aunt Geneva & Uncle Les. We drove through the park, but parked for an hour and a half to watch the elephants bathing. Babies through gigantic adults all enjoying the water and each other. We enjoyed watching them. 
A very special memory.











Last class of the Mail Art series (5/30/2019) had just six artists.
I didn't get photos of everyone's work, but here are some samples.

Jacki,

If you love elephants and would like to increase your knowledge of them,
how they work and have feeling for their young and humans, here's a
beautiful true story of a man who got very close to them before and during
WW11 in Burma. ELEPHANT COMPANY by Vickie Croke
