It's All Happening At the Zoo

On Sunday we went to the Bronx Zoo--I hadn't been there since my college days. I really like this zoo; it's a nice wide open space that is pretty remarkable for a densely-packed place like the Bronx. My only objection is that you have to pay extra for attractions such as the children's zoo & gorilla exhibit. However there's still more than enough to see with the regular admission, and we didn't come close to seeing everything before it started downpouring rain at around 4pm (which seems to be an unfortunate pattern developing during our various weekend sojourns).

Here's some pics to commemorate our day, one of the highlights of which was watching tiger feeding time.

Rotunda bizarrely filled with orange paper frogs. Has that sentence ever been written before?
