Audubon Zoo

We went to the zoo. You probably know that already, but it seemed like a good idea to start with the basic summary of this post. Here, you will find tons of pictures, a few words, but mostly, it's a photo dump. Enjoy.

First come the flamingos.

The the Asian bears. I like bears. Always have.

In the center of the zoo, is the fountain. The really cool fountain.

And there are monkeys, of course, because what's a zoo without monkeys?

The NOLA zoo has a section called "The Swamp." In it are fish exhibits focused on fish that can be found in local waters. Fish like catfish. With...what? Helpful, informative cards, telling you all about the catfish, like you might find in an aquarium?

Not quite...

Grilled Catfish with Blue Crab Sauce.

 Birds, and turtles, and more birds, and more turtles.

And more primates, too.

And on the walk home, not part of the zoo at all, just someone's front yard ~ and their mongohuge palm trees!
