New Beginning


How about comparing the backside of an animal with the Old (Past) Year & a frontal view with the New Year - i.e. facing the future? Then these 2 elephants, appearing to embrace, could symbolise an endearing "connection" between the past & a new beginning. But it seems to be an illusion, because . . .



. . . in fact the 2 elephant bulls are fighting; or "testing" their strength - which also could be representative of "making ones mark".




According to my premise today, looking at the backside of this BLUE Wildebeest represents "seeing out" the Old Year . . .



. . . wheras this BLACK Wildebeest, squarely facing ahead, symbolises a challenging attitude & readiness to accept, whatever "comes along" - head-on!



Similarly these cute little meerkats (suricates) are "squarely facing" what lies ahead . . .





. . . but these 2 meerkats are looking "over the shoulder" . . .




. . . whilst others from the same family look "straight ahead" - & into the future?



In conclusion (closely related to the meerkaats) a family of Striped mongoose "turning their back" on the Old & walking towards a New Beginning :)
