I
was looking forward to taking my new camera to
the Zoo. As we drew near, I opened my
camera bag and saw with dismay that I'd picked
up my old camera by mistake. Dang
it! They do look a lot alike in a darkened
room. Luckily both cameras take the same
batteries and picture cards so all was not
lost.
We're currently in the middle of a heat
wave. Smoke from forest fires up
north clouds our skies and the air
quality's not great. A number of the
animals stayed in their dens. Here
are some who ventured out. |
Well
hi there! Haven't seen you for a while.
Gotta Popsicle?
Did
someone say Popsicle? Oh please give me one too.
So what's the weather gonna be today? I
dunno. Hot, hot, hot I bet.
Hah, nobody's looking. Goody, goody!!
All for me! Snarf, snarf, snarf! Gobble, gobble,
gobble. Burp!
You didn't see that, did you?
In the Molback's Butterfly Pavilion a Julia lands on a
bright flower.
A couple of Zebra Longwings relax on a leaf.
Freshly-hatched Monarchs dry themselves on a fir tree.
It looks like a Living Christmas Tree.
A White Peacock balances carefully on a leaf.
A Painted Lady?? spreads her wings ready to sleep.
Here's a Palamedes Swallowtail, resting on a bush.
Outside there's a patio and a garden full of bright
flowers.
It's sponsored by Microsoft to attract bees, and it
does.
A couple of bees try to share a flower.
With classical music playing gently in the
background it was very relaxing
to watch butterflies and bees. Thanks very
much, Molback's and Microsoft.
