Yesterday's Adventure
Mason, Eleanor and I went to the "little" zoo yesterday (aka Como Zoo). We mostly just wandered around. Eleanor hadn't been to Como since they added the interpretative center, the rainforest walk, or expanded the polar bear experience. Mason and I hadn't yet seen the Gorilla Forest improvements. So, we did a lot of exploration.
When we first came in, a volunteer was showing off a hedgehog. OMG teh cute! Super-fast, too! Like a real life Sonic!
The ostriches were being weird and weirdly cute, so I had to snap a couple of pictures of them:
The gorilla area was much nicer. Previously, they had a sort of sad concrete environment and now they have a lot more room and a more natural looking habitat. The sun was hot so I sort of forgot to take many other pictures because we were hurry to find shade. I got a kind of crappy shot of the lion who was also trying to hide from the sun:
My favorite part of the zoo is always the Japanese garden. Most of the rest of the pictures are from there. Mason bought a parasol from the gift shop. It has painted cherry blossoms on it. It'll be nice for tomorrow, which is Obon (the lantern lighting ceremony):

In all seriousness, some friends of ours are getting married in the sunken garden this November and I'll be curious to see what it's like. All the spaces in the conservatory (and Japanese garden) seem far too narrow to really work.
Bummer you didn't get any good shots. Are you planning to come down today for the lantern lighting festival? It's $5 to get in, but well worth it. Mason and I will probably go early and stay late. It starts at 3 pm.

I wound up at the Science Museum yesterday instead, but had I known/realized, I would have tried Como again yesterday. That sounds like a missed photographic opportunity, Damn. Damn.
