Jim and I had our first outing since the outbreak! The Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens are open for reservations. This is phase 1 of re-opening.
Now we must be aware of standing 6 flamingos from each other.
The animals have no idea what humans are dealing with right now.
Certain beasts probably enjoy people watching again.
High touch zones are well labeled with "caution".
Bronze statues throughout are blocked off since these are also high touch items used for photo ops.
We always have to stop by the meerkats since they are smile inducing creatures.
These two were deep in conversation of the intellectual sort.
White rhinos are still due to arrive in the fall, as scheduled. The habitat is coming along.
Frogs were enjoying themselves this day too. This big guy looks like an ornament but was real.
It felt good to simply be out again. With the limited capacity it was a quiet, peaceful day at the zoo.
I hope you are able to find things to enjoy too. This is one place where we feel safe since it is easy to keep distance from others. It may be months before we feel comfortable enough to eat in a restaurant again since case numbers are still on the rise here.
Thank you for stopping by! ~Val
