On May 3 of this year I visited the Greenville Zoo and did some sketching. Here is Joy the elephant:

I also took some pictures of Joy; I've misplaced all the photos but this one:

Maybe I'm anthropomorphizing, but this looks like a very sad expression, or part of an expression, on Joy's face. It's certainly a portent. Joy was the last remaining elephant at the zoo.
This week Joy was on her way to a sanctuary for senior elephants, where it was hoped her golden years would be cheered by the companionship of other elephants, but she unexpectedly died en route. You can read more about Joy in today's Greenville News story.
