All the creatures were mesmerised by what appeared to be the sun entering the water when she swam and when she walked on the land everyone stepped aside, as elephants were revered. Legend has it, the golden elephant was once a beautiful warrior princess. Once, in midst of of a terrible battle with her enemy about to take her life, she made a wish that she could become an elephant, for then no harm would come to her. The beautiful warrior princess was granted her wish, tho could sadly not return to her human form, and so it was that the golden elephant lived forever, bringing warmth and light wherever she went. During the darkest nights when the stars hid and the moon disappeared, the beautiful golden elephant shone like the sun, lighting the way for pilgrims on their journey. Although very happy she got what she wished for, the golden elephant found herself still thinking the grass was sometimes greener on the other side. Indeed she would have liked to be human again. But she accepted her new role and did the best she could with her gift of light. The moral of the story – be careful what we wish for / Antique Kisses another big eyed girl / Thank you for Hearing Me Sinead O’Connor Thank you for hearing me / Thank you for hearing me / Thank you for hearing me / Thank you for hearing me Thank you for loving me / Thank you for loving me / Thank you for loving me / Thank you for loving me Thank you for seeing me / Thank you for seeing me / Thank you for seeing me / Thank you for seeing me And for not leaving me / And for not leaving me / And for not leaving me / And for not leaving me Thank you for staying with me / Thank you for staying with me / Thank you for staying with me / Thank you for staying with me Thanks for not hurting me / Thanks for not hurting me / Thanks for not hurting me / Thanks for not hurting me You are gentle with me / You are gentle with me / You are gentle with me / You are gentle with me Thanks for silence with me / Thanks for silence with me / Thanks for silence with me / Thanks for silence with me Thank you for holding me / And saying “I could be” / Thank you for saying “Baby” / Thank you for holding me Thank you for helping me / Thank you for helping me / Thank you for helping me / Thank you, thank you for helping me Thank you for breaking my heart / Thank you for tearing me apart / Now I’ve a strong, strong heart / Thank you for breaking my heart

Find me a cheekier beef horse than this, and I’ll gladly give you my favourite teapot. Detail, colour, taste and pure cheek – this cheeky cow’s got the lot. To quote what she said to me just after I took the picture: “Moo”. And you can’t argue with that. Proud of your kitchen? Imagine this beauty on your wall. As a picture, I mean. Not the actual cow. Look at my lovely shop: http://baddoggy.redbubble.com/ Taken on the cliffs above Robin Hood’s Bay, near Whitby, North Yorkshire. I could’ve cropped it conventionally, but I couldn’t bring myself to chop out that sky.
