had a lovely wander around The Leaf on Wednesday…
I went on my own for the first time and for anyone who knows me, that is pretty good…
the cacao trees are looking a bit sad, but most of the Tropical Biome looked good…
I spent quite some time watching the fish… they were very active swimming around the pond and a number of plants have been trimmed back so they are also much easier to see;-)…
the orchids in the Mediterranean Biome are still doing very well, with tons of blooms on them…
and the biggest surprise was the Butterfly Garden, which had more butterflies flying around than I’ve ever seen here…
zoo staff were letting a good number emerge from the nursery and there were many people admiring them as well… it is always fun to hear what the keepers have to say about the butterflies… they record each one as they release it…
then I took one last walk through the biomes as I waited for my ride…

Shadow looks great… yesterday my son-in-law changed her tires…
she looks so pretty with the summer bling on… much sportier, lol…
I have noticed that whenever it rains she gets visibly dirty… I love her colour but do remember how the silver car rarely looked like it needed a wash… different story these days…
got these shots when we arrived at work this morning…
was talking with someone recently about getting a new car and trying to figure out the best time to do that…
can still remember when I went for my first car on my own… wasn’t sure if I would even qualify… nerve wracking but it all worked out fine…
those big girl pants are getting more and more comfortable…
not sure how I feel about that…
