Really!

Me sainted Polish Mother-in-law, may she rest in peace, never failed to let me know just how disappointed she was that her Son married "an Irish".  That quote was on a mug she gave me for my birthday one year...my only gift from her, mind you.   

Small, but tasty! 

Eeeeeeee-uuuuuu! Ei!! 

If you think that one is bad, go to the archive and look at 8:39! 

BTW - it is the American high school marching bands that always steal the show!

That's because they're the only ones who can walk in a straight line.

3 eggs!  WooHoo!

Elephants in general are wicked smart, but Asians are amazing!   

Hey, Judi!     Long time, no see!  Hope all is well!

Hi Ei!

Things are great!  Just way too much stuff goin' on...especially at our zoo in L.A!  And speaking of elepants (see?  I'm keeping it on topic!) our new elephant exhibit opened in December and it's amazing!
Check it out...especially the video of our Billy being introduced to the waterfall!

Watch the 2nd video from the bottom and the last one...

 

WOW!  Billy surely did enjoy the new waterfall!  I do believe elephants can smile and laugh!

Ummm, yup, could totally be my kitchen...

Tiny is growing up...

And she's off!

Wish I knew what she is watching so intently

Hogan's Heroes?

And as true as that is (good one, Shaky) my personal impression is that Beauty has a much mellower look than Mariah had during bowing & chupping rituals...

Once again, it's that time of the year when I go first to the cameras and only then to the Forum.
Nothing like the start of falcon season!  Which reminds me -- I'm overdue to hike down to my local peregrine territory and see what's going on.

And here I thought I was the only one who did that!   

They were both there for a minute-gone by the time I got to the stream...

And it's now back.  Was there an "intervention" or did it restart on its own? 

The reason I'm asking is it's done this a few times over the past few days and I'm wondering how long we should wait before reporting it.

Look at that cute little dirty face!
