Random shots from the Zoo

I have started using our nice point and shoot lately so I don’t have any mobile shots to post today (not that I’m really good about doing a random shots post every Friday, but I try), but I liked these so I thought I’d post them.

Butterflies at Zoo Boise

I guess I haven’t blogged about the butterflies at the zoo before and I find that almost a crime. Every summer Zoo Boise has a beautiful butterfly exhibit. Lily is really hit or miss if she wants to see the butterflies so we only went a few times this season. I think Lil doesn’t like the idea of the butterflies landing on her; although she seems to be getting over that, because she’s getting more excited about the beauty of the butterflies. She also hates crowds especially in small spaces, she comes by that naturally.

These are some of the pictures I took the last time we went through the butterfly exhibit.

The outside of the wings.

I believe that this next guy is a glasswing. When his wings are open the middles are translucent. It’s really neat.

The butterflies were retired this Monday for another year. I’m so glad that we got to see them the few times that we did and I already can’t wait till next year.

If the zoo really did hold a talent show Lily would win

I think Olivia has an episode about talent shows so for a while Lily was all about them. It goes along perfectly with Lil’s love of dance. These days when she hears a song she likes she can’t help but dance to it, even if it’s just to wiggle her shoulders. I love this trait and hope that she keeps it.

This was at the zoo a month or two ago. The zoo has this great African musical instrument outside the lion exhibit. Lil never even noticed it till a few months ago, now it’s her favorite thing there. In these videos Waldo is laying down the mad beats with the neat instrument.


*Sorry the second video is sideways. I told youtube to turn it and it says ok, then it’s all f-you, I’m not doing S for you.  Man having a three year old is playing havoc with my language.

I guess in the end youtube did what I asked, yay!
