Wednesday's trip to the zoo

It was 94 degrees yesterday - 104 with the heat index - so, of course, Viv decided we should go to the zoo.

Laschinka, the new baby Amur leopard.





A rare velvet ant, which is really a kind of wasp.

Vivi among the heron.


Can you spot what had the bobcats so mesmerized?

This particular wild bunny sighting was quite a thrill for Viv, although they really are all over the zoo. She wanted the bunny, and Grandma explained that it was a wild bunny who enjoyed its life in the wild. Viv said, "that's a problem." Where does she get this stuff???

Green heron.


Inspired by the giraffes, Gus decides to reveal his neck for a fleeting moment.



Giraffes are funny!
