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…
Gannets on Bonaventure Island
It was the summer of 2024, and we were on a coastal trip to the USA and Canada. A trip like this takes quite a bit of planning, but there was one day when I had to wing it. When we arrived in Percé, QC,…
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…

Smithsonian National Zoological Park
We love zoos. We love free zoos even more. But we did not love the parking. The cost of parking was as much as admission would have been at a regularly priced zoo. We were in Washington, DC, during the period between Christmas and New…

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…
