When you are at a good zoo, you wind up seeing interesting things that are not constructed. This is a post of pictures of plants and animals that I saw at the Phoenix Zoo, that were not technically part of an exhibit.




Duck - I like the eye on this one. Maybe he's part coyote?


Arizona Bird - These birds were everywhere.


Duck - I think that this guy's feet are amazing.


Butterfly - I do not know what kind of butterfly or flower this is.


Heron - This heron was hanging out in the capybara exhibit. I guess there's good fishing there.


Budding Cactus - These were budding everywhere I went. Must have hit the right time.


7 turtles and 6 turtle reflections - Obviously, one of the turtles is a vampire.


Duck - Shhhh, hiding.


Cacti - They're like skyscrapers.


Rock Formation - Another interesting weather-worn hole.

These pictures, and your earlier narratives, are making me very happy. And a bit homesick, but that's okay.

Once I get to posting the Superstitions, South Mountain, and Sonora pictures, it might get worse. Just a warning.

You have me thinking that I sometimes (often?) take my environment for granted.

I think that a lot of people do. Once the blizard here stops, and the snow melts, I plan to take two weeks and pretend that I'm visiting Des Moines as a tourist. It should be an interesting experiment.

I like the snow and forest I have here, but you're reminding me that I'm cold...

Lovely shots.
