It's All Happening at the Zoo

We went to the Toronto Zoo yesterday, which got "At the Zoo" by Simon and Garfunkel in my husband's head all day. Yeah, that was delightful considering he only knows a line or two...which he hummed and sang a few times over. But that's okay, because cute animals trump everything else. And I got my revenge in the car on the way back by doing a heart-rending version of "Hello" with Adele. Marriage is all about give and take, after all! ;)

I thought I would share a small handful of pictures from yesterday. I'll probably share a few more on my photography blog soon. Because again, cute animals are the ultimate trump card.

These guys were so playful!

The male giraffe, Kiko, is actually from my local zoo in South Carolina! Of all the zoos in the world, I think it is amazing that my two hometowns collided with this adorable fella. And I really wonder if  they recognize accents, because I swear he looked right at me every time I spoke.

Lunch time!

And I don't know how many of you have watched it, but every time I see certain animals I think of "Walk on the Wild Side". That show always makes me laugh, no matter how many times I've seen it in repeats.

And one other quick note - I changed the layout and graphics on here. The old layout was more summery and had been up for months (probably a record for me!). I just needed a small facelift around here and it's amazing how refreshing it can be.

Happy Halloween!
