No! You aren't that in getting rid of me!

There is just one day left for me to view the Elephants in London. There are 13 in a large shopping centre in West London and most of the rest are at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea gardens, where the Chelsea Flower Show is held. I've noticed 4 are noticeable by their absence. The Marc Quinn elephant is not shown as it is too valuable, the latest bid is £32,500.

And another is Jack Vetrianno's The singing butler rides again. He was the artist who painted 'the singing butler'.

Another is Gerald, painted by Jonathan Yeo, which was deemed too crude for public display

I am that they aren't my photos but I am still sorting my photos, now at 2, 729, and labelling them, but the will be online soon... I promise...

Maybe then I can rejoin society. I can't believe I am missing Kew gardens and haven't been for2 months!!!!

Did someone mention Kew Gardens?!

Dear MMF.

What a wonderful idea - thank you for sharing it.

I wish you luck on your elephant *hunting* in London and it;s environs. Were the statues placed in a particular place for a special occasion That would be interesting to know.

Have a successful day.

Kind regaards

Am I missing something about the 'too crude' elephant The picture seems harmless to me. Even enlarging it revealed nothing untoward. I read that Mark Shand involved with the exhibition, and brother of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, felt it would not be appropriate for her to be photographed looked at something so crude, especially as she would have laughed ??!!?
