As you all know – January was bitterly cold. The Central Park Zoo became a month long winter wonderland – and the forecast predicts more to come.

We could not resist a visit to The National Zoo to meet the adorable five month old panda, Bao Bao. She made her debut to the public last week. At only 18 pounds she is beyond adorable. We were lucky to catch her awake for a short time. Bao Bao means ‘precious’ or ‘treasure’ in Mandarin. Check out the video I took in 2008 when the last panda was born at the National Zoo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaVrBTFtIJE

Leaping leopards, flying monkeys, soaring sea lions and bounding babies are a joy to see at the Central Park Zoo. It is even better when you can capture that moment with your camera. Today’s montage is all about those special moments.

A New Year’s trip to the West Coast found us once again at the wonderful San Francisco Zoo. Little Baby Kabibe, the young gorilla was adorable (even while sleeping) as were the adorable six baby peccaries. This zoo holds a special place for my family and me A loud shout out to Dom Dorsa for his generosity and time. You made our visit very special.

I was not planning to go to the zoo on Friday’s very cold day but the lure of freshly fallen snow and the thought of snow leopard cubs frolicking in the snow was too much for me to resist. Enjoy their antics as well as some other familiar zoo faces in the beautiful fresh snow. If you haven’t come to see these seven month old cubs yet – now is the perfect time to catch them in all of their kitten-like friskiness.

It has been a great year for new faces, places and spaces. Thank you for coming along for the ride. I celebrate the end of my 10th year of Sunday montages, and following tradition I leave you with with no ‘ifs,’ – just ends and butts. I am also taking a look back at some of the new places that we have visited. Looking forward to more zoo-cations in 2014 and wishing you all a very Happy Zoo Year!

The Trials, Tribulations (& Laughs) of Creating a Homemade Holiday Card December 22, 2013

For the past eight years I have been featuring Benny the dog on our annual holiday card. With the addition of kittens Audrey and Roberta as the newest members of Casa Lobo, I attempted a group photo. Many hats, bow ties and laughs later I present this year’s holiday card and some outtakes from our photo session. Hope you enjoy their antics and wishing everyone a very happy holiday season.
Reflections on a Winter Day – Madison Square Park December 21, 2013

Madison Square Park is the park where Benny, my dog, and I spend lots of time. Benny’s time is spent sniffing and dreaming of catching that elusive squirrel and I daydream, reflect, chat with neighbors, other dog walkers, and strangers. Beginning in 1912, Madison Square Park was home to the first public holiday tree in the nation. Madison Square Park was home to the torch of the Statue of Liberty for six years to raise funds for the completion of the statue and its pedestal. There is also a suggestion that the southwest corner of Madison Square Park is where America’s pastime, baseball, got its mid-19th century start.game.. Whatever the history – enjoy today’s reflections.
