Have been enjoying the San Diego Zoo the past few days. I follow the polar bears and the pandas via their webcams and it’s good to see them in person. Also, you get a good workout walking around the zoo, as you are always either going up or down a hill.

Above: Kalluk, the adult male polar bear with a mouth full of carrots.

Lower picture: Frank, a one-year-old gorilla that all the gorilla’s have been helping to raise. He had been watching an adult eat a green pepper. He may be holding part of a green pepper plant and not sure he likes the taste.

Some zoo employees were leading two camels down a road. The camels would stop every few feet and need some coaxing to proceed.

A number of herons and great egrets are fly-in guests of the zoo.

In Cheyenne, Wyoming, stopped at Terry Bison Ranch for fun.

These goats were used to mow the grass. They did not like Jake’s inquisitiveness and looked like they were ready to attack him were he to go to their side of the fence.

The main negative thing about this stop was the wind. When I would open my door, the wind would often slam it open. Not good for aluminum doors.
