This color scheme I found when i search through Pinterest. These colors could represent the personality and emotions of an elephant. The blue is when they're calm, the purple when they're feel active, the pink for when they're excited or happy. This color would be great for a background because you can have a wide selection depending on the post or the mood you're in.

While looking for cute elephant designs online. I cam across this on Pinterest, I wanted to find some sort or decal or something to put on a canvass. This isn;t only inspirational but it's cute! People love inspirational quotes and it just makes it 10 times better that it's shaped like an elephant. This also relates to my other posts by bringing awareness to the community and hopefully we can make a difference.

This piece of jewelry I saw on my friends key ring. It was cute but elegant and really made me thing about my blog as soon as I saw it. This could be used as a simple back ground just using to make a collage and have it sitting in the back ground. The key ring is exactly what I've been talking about throughout the whole blog, Elephants, it shows they are iconic and loved by many people.

As I was looking through pinterest for some craft ideas I cam across this font and new it's what I would want to use for my blog. The name of this font is Quirlycues.

This font is eye catching and easy to read.

Source of inspiration: Color





Like most college students I found my self browsing Pinterest and I came across this cute color pattern.  These are really popular this year so I thought it wpuld be great to use when designing a tapestry. Also popular this year anything spiritual is what people are looking for, so each of these colors could be a background color with the design of an elephant on it. The blue is a calming color, while the peach is a vibrant up-beat color. These colors would be a good representation of different characteristics and personalities of elephants. The last blue can represent how they can be soothing not only to each other but to humans. The orange can represent their spunky and loving personality. I believe these could also be used as a background for my blog.

Save the Ivory










https://www.google.com/search?q=elephants+with+pink+tusks&biw=1366&bih=643&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjwmtDU1IXMAhUBx4MKHXYYBNoQ_AUIBygC#imgrc=kiOxCH_7dU0onM%3A
Humans are elephants only natural predator. Every year thousands of elephants are killed for their tusks. Ivory is hard to come buy and extremely expensive since people can't get it when they need to they result to poaching. This has become a huge issue, so now scientists are trying new things to keep elephants from beimg killed. There is talk about a chemical being using on elephants tusks that isn't harmful to the animal but will make the ivory useless. It would be a huge break through and accomplishment to have this being used as soon as possible.

Elephants in the Circus

Elephants have always played a huge role in the circus. Dating back to 188 when the Ringling Brother's started the circus it was just humans doing acts. After awhile they started using animals as part of their acts. The first two animals to enter were a bear and a horse. After 1884 they slowly started incorporated other animals including elephants. They started out being a large attraction. After awhile it became a huge up roar of using elephants in the act. As of this year they will be taking elephants out of their act. That will include taking 13 elephants and sending them to an elephant conservation center.

Let's call her Katie, shes 21 and likes to take casual walks. So I think a converse will be just fine. Versatile and goes with most occasions she'll be ready to go at any time. If she wants to dress them up or go for a casual walk these are her best choice.

Anyone who has a child, niece or nephew knows that kids can be a handful. Well,  this mother has a set of twins and doesn't know whether she should buy two of the same pair or get them totally different pairs. Jack and Joey are twins and seem to love the same things one day and then they're polar opposites the next. Our best advice is get them some skechers light up shoes in two different colors that way they can switch every so often when they decide they hate the ones they have but can always get them back when they love them again.

An Elephant as a pet? Why not.

People always say that they really want a cat or dog as a pet. That's so generic. Why not get an elephant? I mean sure, they're pretty big, and you would need a lot of space but don't you let your giant dog become a "lap dog" so you might as well upgrade to an elephant. Elephants are known to be very intelligent, they have emotions and form companionship. So they're perfect! not only will they be loyal to you but if need be you can use them as a transportation resource. Wouldn't it be great to show up to an event on an elephant? So next time you're looking for a new pet stop by an pick yourself up an elephant. Please enjoy this hilarious video of an elephant:
