Pony Party: Zoo

It was a slightly chilly day for the Zoo, and the warm weather animals were inside playing poker and drinking coffee. But nobody was there except a few older people walking for fresh air so it felt a little bit like my zoo. I have a membership and while the Memphis Zoo isn’t likely to be featured on Animal Planet for brilliance and innovation any time soon, it is one of my hideaways.

One part of the zoo is called the “farm”. A useful idea since nobody actually knows what a farm looks like now. You can pet the farm animals and they are gentle and a bit sad.

I had to have a non meat dinner after petting the cows and sheep and horses.

This sheep looks like he has a bit of a sense of humor, seems to be glancing at me with rather quizzical expression…

Cow’s eyes are always sort of deep and fatalistic…

My friend the donkey… I wanted a donkey until I found out they get lonely and folks are advised to have two. And I would need a barn unless I planned on having them sack out in the livingroom…

    those are Great pics! I love the ‘farm’ area at our zoo too. A pretty pony at your zoo… ours has a clysedale(<-sp?) that has hoofs the size of dinner plates, his shoulder is at about 5’6″~ HUGE horse, but gentle as can be.

    one day…
