Starting the year out right -- weekends with my love. It's a member morning at the zoo and dang brisk out. We'll go and give it a shot, but my hopes are not crazy high.A little history on zoo to the left. I think I've shared this before, but it's been years.
When we arrive, there is a penguin presentation which we listen to and learn several new things. No pictures, though, because the windows were cloudy and too many people up close to where they were standing. It was fun just to hear all about them.So many of the animals have decided that their inside habitats are better than outside today. We've noticed that the doors to many are open, but no takers. A few birds here and there --
And then . . .the tiger is up close. We are about 6 feet from her at this point. How fun.
Even the Bird Landing has issues. Apparently there has been a hawk in the area so the birds are hesitant to fly. Perhaps, that would have been good information before we bought 5 feed sticks. Those went into Mister's pocket for our next trip.The only taker was a parrot that the keeper put on Mister's hand.
The Koi are sparkling in the sunlight. Did you know these are here? Ya gotta check out the Children's Zoo more often.
Also at the Children's Zoo is this Nine-Banded Armadillo. Look close and you can see his long, scraggly hairs (resembling whiskers). Love it.
Our second stop is at the Dallas Farmer's Market, where our only purchase is lunch. So, so good.
