Pictures from work

[urbpan]

When I worked at Drumlin, I posted pictures from work all the time. With all the restrictions on what I can publish regarding my work at the zoo, I haven't posted hardly any.

This past Monday was rainy and very warm--it reached 60 degrees. Here are some pictures from Monday:


I keep finding hidden groves of witch hazel in unused parts of the zoo.


While inspecting behind some outdoor furniture, I was astonished to find this young (but still fairly large) leopard slug.


The long straight path along this hoofstock paddock was originally designed as a carriage road.

Critters on hoofs = cheerful pic to see first thing in morning.
Slug = makes me vaguely miss Seattle.
Witch Hazel = thrills me lil witchy heart. I love seeing it in the wild and just got through advocating its use to someone. It's all synchronous and such!

Thanks for the cheerful wake up pic :D

Hmm... do the restrictions prohibit you from posting the restrictions?

We do not directly speak of the Restrictions. It is too dangerous.

First rule of Restriction Club is you don't... Oh! Yeah... LOL

Witch Hazel is awesome browse. We don't have much at Stone. And this past year, we didn't see any baby slugs on the retaining wall going up our back steps. :( John and I LOVE cute baby slugs!! Which is why we're a good couple... :)

I used to have slugs in my backyard all the time. I can't recall seeing any here. Maybe I haven't been looking closely enough.

Aw, now I want a carriage with zebras.

Oooh what a cute slug...:)
I like the area with the zebras and gnus (those are gnus yea?)

I see wildebeestes! We haven't had wildebeest in ages. I think they got "tested" for TB when Parc Safari turned up positive for TB and sent nearly all their animals through the grinder. 8-(

Restrictions suck eggs. Killing dialog and fostering hypochondria really tosses a clog into the gears. How can you pool resources with other institutions when veneer is more important than substance? Alas, people will never grow up.
