vibrant blossom

This weekend we foolishly decided to head to the zoo. (Foolish because so very many others had made the same decision!)
Sunday was far too humid to make for an enjoyable day of animal gawking. We saw a few animals, and intend to go back some time before the official opening of the gates. They allow you to wander the zoo grounds as early as six in the morning. I think the animals might be more active then and the tourists will most definitely be less! ;)
This picture was a bonus. This flower is in direct contrast to how wilted I felt that day.
