Snow at the SD Zoo

The forecast yesterday in San Diego was for a cold, but sunny day.   The San Diego Zoo had a different forecast, SNOW for the pandas!     Couldn't resist a photo opportunity like this one!  The pandas enjoyed their gift of snow and the bamboo Christmas tree  ;-)








While there I spent some time with the flamingos, the young ones are so beautiful as their plumage changes.

Flamingo sighting

I was back at the San Diego Zoo again yesterday -- I'm officially now a Volunteer-in-Training.  Before the orientation last night, I spent some time in the Zoo at one of my favorite places:  the flamingo area. This youngster was napping, and occasionally opened an eye to look around.  I love the colors on his body.    I also think I'll have to use this  photo for the Alphabet Class I'm taking -- do you see the "S" -- it's pretty clear to me.   I must admit, though, I'm seeing alphabet letters all the time -- and not everyone else does   ;-)    Am I becoming too focused on the alphabet?
