Winter Zoo Visit

On one of our nicer winter days, Jim decided to visit Lincoln Park Zoo.  For you older folks, you may remember Lincoln Park Zoo as the setting for Marlin Perkins's "Zoo Parade" back in the "dark ages" of black and white television.

Lincoln Park is overrun with those pesky Canada geese.  Sometimes they are fun to look at though ... as when they are walking on the ice on the frozen North Lagoon.

Some of the animals live in the Nocturnal Zoo.  Day is night and night is day, so people who visit during the daytime can see the animals as they would appear at night, during THEIR awake time.
