It's actually dipping its feet inside a kiddie pool. 
The kiddie pool's one of the amenities offered in the resort I was staying in Uluwatu, Bali, Indonesia. Next to it was a full-sized swimming pool; there were also a spa and a bar/restaurant on the ground.
The resort was a bit hidden in the area's valley. But it's only less than a kilometer from the main road leading to the island's city center. It's probably considered too secluded for those who preferred the hustle and bustle of a city. But it's a peaceful, out of the way place with a beautiful view - perfect place to stay while exploring the area's beaches, temples, and local surroundings.

That's pretty strange but you will find it stranger when I tell you that an elephant came to visit us at our house.

@sishy7 There is a temple close by and these elephants are maintained by the temple. They are taken around ostensibly to give their blessing but in fact they come to collect money

Is that for real? They allow elephants to just roam around?

@cahaya1983 They did a good job, huh? Balinese are very artistic.

Sounds like a really nice getaway. I love resorts in places like that, probably because I live in the city and when I have the chance to be away, I want it to be somewhere really peaceful and serene.

@sishy7 Haha well they'll probably appreciate it more when they get older.

Is that a real elephant? (I see below in the comments that it was a statue). Whether it's real or not, my kids would climbing all over it if we were there - ha ha! I imagine that it is beautiful no matter where you go out there!!
