The Zoo

We went to the Living Desert Zoo over in Palm Desert.   It was wonderful.  Here are just a few of the marvelous animals we saw....
 This is Black Crowned Night Heron.....looks blue to me
 This is the Common Egret....nothing common about this beauty in my opinion
 Priceless!!
I want to paint them all!!  In fact we enjoyed the zoo so much that we purchased a membership.  The cost was $70 for both of us and allows unlimited visits for the year.  It also includes many other zoos around the United States...giving us entry at no cost or at a reduced cost.  We are going to be here in Desert Hot Springs for another 3 weeks and I plan on spending several more days at the zoo.

  4. I'm looking forward to your paintings!

    Great idea buying the membership. That's what we did at the Desert Museum in Tucson when we were there for the winter in 2006.
