What's wrong with this picture?
Tote that bucket and lift that pail. Build another sandcastle before we sail.
This is the view - aren't we lucky?
We spent one afternoon assembling the Adirondack chairs that Christy had ordered. Once we realized that if we ignored the 12 page instructions, we could get them put together correctly, and they came together in time for the sunset.
Catching the breeze at the end of a perfect day.

Days of Summer
Zoo Too
Back to the Bronx Zoo for member's night two. Aunt Christy met us there and we decided to hit the Wild Asia monorail and the new Madagascar exhibit - having first viewed the cartoon movie.
From the monorail we saw lots of deer of all sizes, tigers, wild horses, red pandas, elephants - but the favorite was voted on as......
the mom and daughter Rhinos.
Many kinds of monkeys. Who is watching who?
A daredevil baby. It's about 40 feet up on this snag.
Let's try swinging from the vines.
Above and below, the fishes go.
In line for the new Madagascar exhibit. Papa is appropriately clad.
Madagascar is apparently crammed full of funky frogs and VERY LARGE insects. I like them best behind glass.
Ring-tailed lemurs, one of over a dozen lemur species.
And yes, there really are Foosa's -who like to lick their privates in public.

Mother's Day
Last spring while riding the train home from the city where I had just handed in the last of Lian's paperwork, I had nothing to do since I had gone through all my reading material while waiting at the Chinese Embassy. I got out a notepad and this poem started to flow and practically wrote itself. Adoption can be bittersweet as there is no gain without a loss.
