After going through the new tropical rain forest installation at Como Zoo, we visited the primate area, but not before I said "Hello" to one of my oldest friends. Be sure to visit this site to see the wonderful Rain Forest!
Today in Minnesota History: 1869 - As photographer Charles Zimmerman of St. Paul tries to capture frozen Minnehaha Falls, he is struck by an icicle weighing several hundred pounds. He sustains severe bruises about the head, neck, and shoulders, but none of his bones are broken. (Reference: MNHS. ORG)
I went to our zoo today - a nice way to walk off eating all those mashed potatoes and gravy. The primates are always entertaining.

ReplyDeleteFor all of those still disputing the evolution theory - this is an exact image of my uncle Teddy!
ReplyDeleteYes, subtropical flora rules! (at least here in SW Florida ;-)
those are some lovely orchids!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased that several of you went to the Rain Forest because I think it's a special exhibit.
ReplyDeletejing-for some reason I cannot comment on your blog either under my blog or google identity. Sorry!
Hi Kate - thanks for stopping by my new site :)
ReplyDeleteIf you're ever in Ecuador perhaps you could take a trip to one of the rain forests of the Amazon! Great pics on your site - I'll be back. :) Enjoy the balmy weather while it lasts...
Kate, thankfully you didn't sustain injuries from your photo subject the way the photographer in your MN history piece did. :)
ReplyDeleteIts his world, no doubt about it. I would love to see your zoo.
ReplyDeleteGreat strong character sculpture. Your zoo looks like such an interesting place.
ReplyDeleteHe just needs to put his fist on his chin to complete the thinker pose :)
ReplyDeleteWas he a friend from your childhood?
