Zoo Promenade 2

Well, hello there, fancy meeting you on this trail! Nature’s great chandelier in the sky is sparkling all around us, and the breeze is hinting for us to follow it. Would you care to join me on a magical walk? Look there … do you see that vine covered arch? Just beyond it awaits an adventure. Come on—don’t be shy, the cute and wondrous inhabitants of the forest are always happy to have company, and to teach us a thing or two about life.

There are many wise eyes watching us from the treetops, but don’t fear, I’m right here with you.

Have you ever wondered what Yoda’s uncle might have looked like?

Yoda’s Uncle says: “Blind we are, if creation is destroyed by humanity.”

Oh, I almost forgot, handsome ‘Hairy’ promised me a photo shoot today! He’s the perfect gentleman, and so photogenic!

Hairy wanted me to add this photo of a very important message:

Do you know who Ganesh is? Ganesh is an elephant deity from India, who has a way with opening doors and eliminating obstacles. Let’s go see if we can find him!

Ganesh thought I should share this information:

Birds of a feather prey together …

Where did the wood go?

Boared …

Not amused …

Is it just me, or is nature’s art imitating life (look closely and you will see!) …

Ah, water, refreshing on a hot day, and teeming with surprises …

Eggcited!

Which way should we go now?

Helping hooves …

*Yawn* I think it’s nap time …

Time to wake up!

Wow, what a wonderful day it has been. I’m so glad you could take a walk with me. Will you join me again sometime? Who knows where I will head to, but it will always be an adventure! 

Thank you Portland Zoo for an amazing and educational visit: http://www.orgegonzoo.org

Zoo Promenade

Ready for a break, well then, come with me on a relaxing stroll through the Zoo. Imagine yourself on a cool spring day, your parasol in one hand, and dapper gentleman in the other. Tea will be served in the conservatory of butterflies, and your companions will be tigers, lemurs, and giraffes. I see the smile on your face—the cuteness is enough to make you swoon!

Share your sardines, and this otter is your best friend!

Pretty Jane would love to walk with you under your parasol, but I don’t think she’d fit!

If you’re feeling blue …

Did someone say ostrich steaks—oops! Be prepared to run—fast!

Nap time …

And now for the rarest beast of all … um, wait a minute, is that …?!

Gnomes!!!!!!

Llama llana ding dong …

The real black swan!

Just another day hangin’ around!

Don’t sit on the pokey butt!

Monkey shines …

Blue balls, heh, heh, heh …

Lovin’ those Lemurs, they know how to put on a fabulous show!

El Chubbo …

El Diablo …

Chillin’ …

Escapee (No joke, this happy monkey was living in a tree behind the zoo! He was very hard to spot!)

And the best is saved for last …

Awww, thank you for joining me on a perfect day, don’t be sad—we’ll meet again, and maybe have tea amongst the stars, or with pirates sailing the ocean blue, perhaps even in a dream …
