Parkles.

What a beautiful day.

To be a little dogue.

Mammals, camels.

Last week my sister in law, my Mom and I took my niece to the zoo.
A good time was had by all! I especially enjoyed seeing these camels-

They have a really nice pool with a waterfall. Every now and then one would flick its tail and it would splash the others' backs. Then they would also scritch their noses on eachothers' humps.
And plus note very cute visitor in the foreground.

I always like to see these bearz too.

I didn't intend to cut their heads off but they swim so fast! Still,
you have to love the paw action.
Lucy was not so sure that they couldn't get out and eat her up in one very small bite.

(Lu actually liked the penguins best, I think. I didn't get any pitchers though, as their house is very dark. I did share a moment with a puffin. Really. We shared a moment.)

One kinda crazy thing- there was a zoo volunteer giving a tour to a school group. She had a taxidermied polar bear paw in a cloth carrying case that she took out to show them. I guess if you must carry a disembodied paw around, even though some actual living paws are right there behind you, its a good idea to have a protective carrying case. Personally, I think I might have chosen to knit a practical but also decorative paw-cozy. Can you see it now? Would it have "PB" embroidered on it? I think it would have to.

This lion is very regal! Even if he is a bit saggy around the mid-sections! Actually, I kept wishing I could pat his lion suit. (photo may not be work safe!!)

That's all. More later.

garden goings-on

Marcel and I were checking out the new things appearing in the garden. He can scope the scene from 2 directions at once because of his Extra Fancy Googly Eyes™.

Marcel is very suspicious of cameras. Hence the worried expression. He's ok though. Really, if you look closely he's actually smiling a little bit.
And plus, these pretties are blooming in the garden~

Oh! The pinkness is outstanding. They smell pink too.
