This post has been transferred from my original blog. As part of our urban hike this past weekend, we decided to venture into the National Zoo. I don't know if its the old architecture, the cultural hub buzzing, or the amount of money [I hear] gets raised as part of conservation efforts, but the DC zoo doesn't make me as sad as other zoos do. In fact, I love the Smithsonian zoo. Maybe its the vibrant, old-timey carousal... ...or the animals that roar... {Lions and Bears; the Tigers were sleeping, OH MY!} ...or being silly with that guy... {My badger faces make up for the lack of up close time with badgers while sloth bear wears my shades. This selfie epitomizes the tragedy of selfies, and I love it.} ...or the opportunity to travel deep into Amazonia, just by opening a door... {Monkeys hang out high in the canopy, near a cocoa tree} ....or maybe its the Lemurs... {yeah, its probably the lemurs, though the turtles ring a close second.} ...it could be the Ape who always has a new blankie... {or the Orangutan taking the O-Line across our path, or the Mongolian Horse} ...but most likely its strolling around the 'globe' with the guy...
