3:00 snapshot #1480 plus snowy zoo and happy zookeepers

[urbpan]

Snowy zoo and happy zookeepers are not causally related. But that's what this day's photos add up to.



The Beech Grove. European beech leaves stubbornly cling to the branches of these grand plant pachyderms.


A paved zoo path at Franklin Park.


Freshly fallen flakes fight for survival as the temperature hovers around freezing.


Weary zookeepers, tired from a morning of caring for animals in the slush and snow. But I promised happy zookeepers! Where are they?


This zookeeper is happy! It's her birthday! She brought in cake!


These zookeepers are happy! It's the Children's Zoo holiday party, and everyone is invited!


The Children's Zoo intern is happy, even though it's her last day! Maybe it's just the way the leftover salad container illuminates her face.


Nero the sloth is happy because this zookeeper is feeding him sweet potato!

Nero. That's a funny name for a sloth, but dammit he really does look like a Nero.
