Diwali-10 elephant procession
make way, elephant coming through
lined up and ready to go at the temple
gold and silk headdress
posing for a picture
waiting for the parade to start
here they come
with pom poms and music it was an incredible
so many people, so many elephants
Diwali is the festival of lights
I found myself surrounded by children!
Look at that smile!
hiding behing mom
there he is!
beautiful elephants
mama and baby
baby is just a little bit overwhelmed by
snack time
these are made out of peacock feathers
getting ready to perform
wave those pom poms
hanging out
I can't believe the elephants weren't frightened
the kids were fabulous
sometimes I wondered if the white people were more of a show than the elephants
