Zoo Trip

This week's "day trip" outing was to the Syracuse zoo. We have not been in probably twenty years.  They have created lovely environments, or ecosystems for the various creatures.   Odd as it sounds,  I was most enthralled by the sea coral exhibition.  The colors were vividly out of this world, and everything was moving.

 Every piece that I would have expected to be stationary, was swaying, reaching, dancing, seeking.   It reminded me that my great "fantasy adventure" would be a deep sea scuba diving experience.   One would need extensive training for such an event,  but I'd much rather do that than jump out of a plane, or fly to the moon!

 Of course, there were also many more traditional zoo creatures to enjoy, from elephants to snakes to birds.  The only ones that really repulsed me were the naked moles!  Yuk!  They were more disgusting that I had even imagined!  Even the pythons seemed beautiful by comparison.

The weather could not have been more perfect, with a sunny sky, no humidity, and a slight breeze.  Lots of families and kids were around.

Here are a couple of pictures of interesting animals who were out and about at the zoo today.

God's creation is more than awesome.  It is colorful, funny, delightful, entertaining and infinitely varied.

Mostly, I suppose the same could be said for the human mammals wandering about, who came in all sizes and shapes, colors and languages,  groupings and apparel.

I didn't think to take any pictures of the people, though.
