Welcome to Pink Saturday. Time for those shots what contain some pink. I you are paying good attention when traveling down hiway 141 in Fenton, Missouri you will see a giant pink elephant sitting on the side of the roadway. It has been there for as long as I have been traveling that stretch of road. I have heard a dozen different stories about how this elephant came to be sitting in front of the gas station there. But, a good amount of web searching failed to confirm any of them. However, I did find that there is a almost identical pink elephant wearing glasses and holding a martini glass sitting in front of a bar in Indiana.
While going to visit with a friend in that area recently we stopped for the following photos of me and the pink elephant.

Oh Rita, this elephant is bigger than life. Happy Pink Saturday to us all. What a wonderful post. I am getting better at taking my camera with me for just these type of moments. Love it sweetie, just love it. What a great pink post. Please stop by and ready my pink post. I so want to share. Country hugs, Sherry

We seem to find the coolest things on the roads less often travelled( reminds me of my Pink Cadillac Diner post, it does )...nice one, Rita :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an extraordinary creature. How on earth did they get planning permission to erect it? (do you have planning permission in the US?)
ReplyDeleteI've seen a pink elephant before;)...I think it might have had something to do with that martini!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday. It seems right he's still a mysterious pink elephant then. He probably ran away from the circus. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteWOW...you look adorable with that humongous pink elephant!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pink post, Happy Pin Saturday!

Too, too funny. In my wildest imagination I've never pictured a pink elephant. Perhaps in front of a bar because there is a drink by that name, but not where you saw yours. I really enjoyed this post. You get the award for most novel post and picture of the day.
ReplyDeleteQué lindo elefante rosa.
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!!!
Cool pink! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week
Well, that's something you don't see every day - and it's certainly pink, lol.
ReplyDeleteHappy (belated) Pink Saturday! (I'm still trying to visit everyone).
