Stuff you haven't seen (and some you have...)

 So I'm going to start with jumping around a little and then get on to photos from the weekend. More zoo, but I promise the next two weekends will be of other stuff as long as everything goes according to plan. 

Apparently yesterday the house directly across the street from me was broken into. This makes me a little more nervous because it's just me alone. But they broke into a home that has two parents and two small kids so I don't necessarily think that having Isaac around would make it less likely for them to break in. We do have a Brinks system installed, (not hooked up but I'm now thinking about it before I go) hopefully that will deter them? 

I'm trying to resign myself to this news because worrying won't help it and if they do break in (knock on wood) unless they're ready to take furniture I don't have a lot that's amazingly valuable. So let's hope this problem goes away. (I told you I live in the ghetto) I did bring my computer and camera to work with me today. I'm really only worried about the cats otherwise. But it would suck to lose the furniture cause I love it and I bought nice pieces knowing they'd last.

*Update*
Okay so I know I said I wouldn't worry but the panic is starting to set in. All I can think of right now is all the stuff I have at home that is vulnerable and I forgot about until just now. I'm trying to remain calm and hoping that the next four hours go by fast...

Oh and I'm super excited besides the fact because Mat Kearney's album came out today and I love Mat Kearney.

So here as mentioned above are more zoo photos. I tried to make up for the phone camera which is why you're seeing some stuff from last week. And it rained at the zoo while I was there so I got some cool foliage shots at the end. (It is fall right? :P)

Flamingos.


That red panda really needs to get out of the tree. It's like it knows I'm trying to photograph it and wants to thwart my every attempt. Fine red panda, it's on. I'm going to get a good photo of you if it kills me.

They also have a Pudu in an adjoining exhibit which I can never get a picture of. I will get a picture of it, if it, um, kills me...


Cranes.


Reeds in the duck marsh.


Bird.


Another bird.


I know, it's another one.


OMG, I love these. They're miniature panda cows. This is the closest I could get to them with the zoom. They always put them in the farthest pen.


An African Oryx... I think, yes I'm devolving but I already did that above.


Oh, oh I know this one! Hippos!


Asian Elephants. *rubs knuckles on shirt* I know I'm awesome. Also the elephant danced for us. It was so cute.


This is a tree shrew and I only remember that because it was doing back flips over and over again. This is the position it gets in before flipping.


Okay so the is the only Komodo  Dragon picture that loaded and it's the statue outside the exhibit. I actually got really good photos of the two Komodo's that the zoo has. :(


Grizzly Bear. Better photo.


Sea otter. I love this photo.


Okay fine, I'll let you see the whole sea otter.


And these below are just pictures of foliage at the zoo I took a liking too. Enjoy.

  1. Those flamingos have some crazy knees. And kimodo dragon? It just made me shudder. I'm not sure why, but I'm thinking of Sharon Stone's ex husband now.

    Girl, I wish I could say things that would be of more comfort about the break-ins. But, I am so paranoid that when Harv goes on business trips, I need my mom to come and stay with me. So, you are much braver than I am. Just lock your bedroom door, mace under the bed and a bat. Or, you could come chill at my pad. =)

  2. I am paranoid anyway. I check my window and door locks all the time anyhow. I now just think about them all day long too. LOL

    And I would come visit but who would watch my stuff? :)

    Must go buy the mace and a bat though.

  3. What's the update with the no good burglars? Have they caused any more havoc in the neighborhood?

  4. Not that I know of. I haven't seen any cops either so, good sign? Hopefully. Apparently also my landlord has people come do the yard every other week lately and we also have a alarm system sign out front which I assume deter?
