they are everywhere

plus, bonus! a monkey!



london is such a feast of visual design - everywhere a fantastic color or funny ad to stare at. or a line of shops - all agreeing to paint their fronts in co-ordinated but technicolor saturated color:

elephants galore! i am totally taken with this charm necklace - and with elephants in general. a symbol of wisdom, elephants are pretty popular in my family. a bunch of us collect them; i like the idea of wearing them!
