Blank Park Zoo

When I went to Des Moines for the booksale, I also took a bit of personal time and went to the Blank Park Zoo. I used to go to that zoo a lot, but stopped about a year before I moved away from Iowa. So much of my time was being spent traveling that when I was home, I was processing photos from others zoos and didn't want to go to my "home" one. It was interesting to visit. It had changed a bit, but not much. A lot of zoo changes seem to be superficial, just tidying things up but not really expanding the collection. I suppose this is OK, as I'd rather be somewhere with a few happy animals than a lot of sad ones. Still, it would have been nice if the frogs had still been there. I'm guessing something infected the tanks because everything was being restarted. Anyway, the set is here. There are no titles or funny captions, as I'm pushing to get caught up with processing.
