St Louis Zoo
It is an interesting angle. I am looking up at the blue sky, and there are a few clouds. The glass is dirty from hundreds of others who have walked through here before me. The water, for the most part, is clean, but there is…
Badlands National Park
Planning a trip takes a lot of time and effort. My general rule is that it takes as much time to plan a trip as it does to take it. For a six-week journey, like when we travelled to Alaska and back, it took six…
Everybody Poops but C’MON!
It was a beautiful August day. We were on our week-long trip through Quebec. Since we both love zoos and aquariums, I ensured that Aquarium Du Quebec was included in our exploration of this incredible province. Our visit was during the restrictive COVID times, and…
An Unexpected Encounter With A Moose
It was early on the morning of July 17, 2023, when we crawled out of our sleeping bags and were ready to head further into Alaska. We were on our Alaskan Trip Of A Lifetime. It had been amazing so far; we expected more of that…

Please Do Not Pet The Animals
My wife and I love going on hikes in nature. There is something very relaxing about being out in the middle of nowhere, enjoying the scenery together. But there is one thing that terrifies me more than anything in the world. Snakes? Nope. Not those…
Scream At The Toledo Zoo
I am walking through one of the buildings at the Toledo Zoo. It was a rather fascinating building, full of snakes. All of a sudden… SCREAM! The scream pierced through the room and even the building. Everyone heard it. Everyone stopped to see what the…
Photo Albums
I have taken many pictures. I am fortunate to have Google Home, which displays my pictures daily. I have decided to share my albums with everyone. Many of the pictures have the location where they were taken. PICTURES FROM 2016 – 71 photos I did…
Our First Moose
When we first started our travels, our adventures were mostly confined within city limits. But as we ventured further into the wilderness, a whole new world opened up. The first time we spotted a moose crossing sign on the road was during a trip to…
