From the Tulsa Zoo outing son and I had last week. Zoos these days spend a lot of time, energy, and money on things such as art work and landscaping making them a total visual and sensory experience.

Alligator Haiku
Sometimes it is Wise to Read and Heed the Signs!
Why?
As promised, Alligator Haiku. My first since my sophomore year in high school, 40 years ago.
Sunny Zoo Pond Shines
Gator Lazing in the Grass
Hapless Swimmer Chomp!
If you are lucky, it will be another 40 years before my next try.
To the Oklahoma City Zoo and Beyond
A perfect storm on Friday, SuperPizzaBoy is on Fall Break, Sweetie needed a break so all of went on a road trip down the Turner Turnpike to see the Oklahoma City Zoo.
My favorite, a ruddy black rhino getting a mud treatment.
What a sweet little kitty.
I forgot to note what kind of bird this is, but I thought him handsome. I guess that it is a him.
Does he look nervous to you. I think he is worried about his relatives this time of year.
All sorts of wild critters, big and small.
An ostrich took a liking to SPB and followed us around.
I love pumpkins.
After a few hours at the zoo we refreshed ourselves at Belle Isle Brewery at 50 Penn Place.
And walked on down to Full Circle Bookstore. We bought more than we should but it is the best bookstore in the state.
SPB settled into his favorite chair.
The store has everything, a bunch of Shakespeare above (I don’t ever buy Shakespeare but they kind of set the tone.)
And then we went home.
I love Road Trips, Zoos, Brew Pubs, and Independent Bookstores. Don’t you?
