Elephants eating trees

I guess this is why I should always carry a camera -

Driving down Atwater I spy what I thought was a billboard with an elephant on it. No, it was a live elephant blissfully eating leaves off a tree as its handler hosed him down. Apparently Universoul Circus is encamped behind Chene Park for few days. So, go and catch the elephant or catch a show.

PS - this circus is highly under-publicized, or I am listening to the wrong media outlets.

Great image, that.

Would have been great if you snapped a picture.

Neat! I'll have to wander down that way tomorrow.

Definitely the wrong media outlets. Tony Tone, baby!

It was the lead entertainment story in The Detroit News on Wednesday.

I looked at the forum first thing when I got out of bed this morning and misread the title as "Elephant eating trees". I'm glad with everything else that goes on, Detroit trees have not gone carnivorous.
