Ivory, India, Image, Illusion!

Very heavy rains fell all day long and left me searching for the letter "i" for my alphabet challenge in the house today. I turned to the curios and pulled out all the ivory colored elephants and decided that I is for Ivory. Since most of the elephants will be gone soon, I will have this journal to remember them long after they have new homes. Some of them were made in India and the image gives an interesting illusion but, of course they are not real ivory.
