I finished SoCNoC off with 67k then celebrated with a day of relaxation... which turned into quiet a few because we lost power and I went to stay with a friend. We won't even get into the deathly terrifying trip I had home the night we lost power... Though I am happy to say I made it through the conditions unharmed and with my car still running great. I can't say the same for very many others... where we've gotten these really bad storms these last two years I don't know. -sighs- But there is nothing like being caught in the summer heat and not even being able to have a fan... So I went to stay with a friend who had power. For Friday we went tubing down the now-extremely high river. But my highlight was yesterday, Saturday, when we went to Binder Park Zoo. I love the zoo here... it's not the biggest I'm sure, but most of the enclosures are open and while allowing the visitors to almost always get a good look at the animals, they also tend to give the animals plenty of space and room to lay in the shade. I'm finally getting a good grasp on my camera and was really impressed with the shots I have. So instead of a writing update... you get some photography. ^_^ I took over 300 pictures but I'll only be showing my top favorites.

Saving them for the web has done the pictures little good... The quality suffers with the downsize, but they're still fairly pretty. My favorites are of the peacock in the tree. He was gorgeous but off set with the green canopy above him and wow!
