Desert Dome, Henry Doorly Zoo, Omaha
Wallabies (?)
Boomslang (think Harry Potter)
This guy came over to get some water while another critter was over there, and then started doing this - I don't think he was happy...
Isn't s/he pretty?It's been very interesting in my brain lately. With the inaguration and with things actually happening the first few days in office, I have hope for the future of my country for the first time in a long, long time. The transparency of this administration alone is exciting and amazing (and if you haven't looked at the new whitehouse.org pages... I suggest a visit).
On the other hand, my own personal store of hope for myself is kind of on a downhill slide. It's all part of the job seeking process - the ups and downs. I know this intellectually, but the job seeking process isn't a completely intellectual process. It's hard to keep your heart out of it. I'm continuing to slog through the job applications, but I have to admit to not having my whole heart into it at the moment. I know that eventually I'll reach the uphill side of this. For now, I may not be posting a lot about anything job related, kind of in the spirit of - "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything."
I did spend a lovely afternoon yesterday enjoying the unseasonally warm weather at the zoo. It's been a long time since I've been to the zoo in Omaha. They've expanded quite a bit. They have all these habitat type areas - a desert dome, a jungle, a butterfly habitat. The butterfly habitat was amazing. It's got the double door entry and exit, and then once you're inside, the butterflies are flying all around. You have to watch out for them (and check for them on you when you're leaving). I fell in love with the owl butterfly. Unfortunately, my camera battery decided to die, so I have no photos to share. All my images are in my head. Maybe they'll help shift things to hopeful.
