Original Cin

I decide to go to the zoo today as part of my 2009 Explore & Create theme. The bus ride there was more interesting; they had Zoo Lights going, but the entire experience struck me as kind of thrown-together. Anyway, here are some pics:

The very first pic is of a memorial to David Kennison, supposedly the last survivor of the Boston Tea Party. I found a better pic (you can zoom in on the text) with more information online. The zoo’s “farm” area is actually in the background. The next picture is the only really “good” one of the Zoo Lights display that I got. That is the most demented octopus I’ve ever seen. The rest are animals I saw. Overall, I think zoo trips are much cooler when you’re a kid, and definitely more of a summer event.
