Mister and I are enjoying the cool NON-RAINY day. Ha ha -- well at least it's not supposed to rain until later today. We are off to the zoo to walk and enjoy. There is hope to spot Kapenzi, our new baby giraffe, out today. Mister has also not viewed the dinosaur exhibit yet so -- here we go.I LOVE walking at the zoo and just enjoying the animals and their behaviors. It truly lifts the spirit and makes me calm. They are entertaining as well as educational and I always come away feeling revived.
Mister's favorites are up and moving about. Yes!
Cheetah on display --- of course it would be beneath his/her dignity to look at us.
Giraffe time. Is she here? Is she here? There IS a small one in the habitat BUT is is not Kapenzi. This one is about a year old now -- still so very fun to watch.Look towards the upper section of the picture and you will see a giraffe neck back in the trees. One of the taller ones has found some good stuff to nibble on during his walk into the habitat.
The younger one (dang, why can't I remember his name) keeps wondering just what is going on and walks over to check it out.
This goes on for quite awhile before the keepers are forced to kind of hurry him along a bit. Pretty funny to watch. They wanted to close the tunnel and let people through again.
These creatures are just magnificent to me.
Still trying to feed, but mama keeps moving on. Pretty sure she is weaning.
Oh look --- one of us is tall enough to enjoy these treats growing at the back of the feeding enclosure. Trouble is --- the others can't reach and for some reason I don't quite understand, they refuse to stand in the water to get to them.
After a nice morning, we make a stop down in Bishop Arts for lunch and to try out the Bishop Cider Co's sampler.
Lunch is FANTASTIC at Hunky's Old Fashioned Hamburgers. I wish I could say the same for the cider. It is just okay for me. Not wonderful.
What a nice morning with Mister. We really need to get out and walk more often.
See you soon.
