LumiNature at the Philadelphia Zoo Photos

Despite being a week away from having surgery to repair the injured knee, I decided to test my stamina and walk around the Philadelphia Zoo at night during Christmas week of 2019. There were no animals to be seen. Instead, the zoo was alive with lights. They put on a light display called LumiNature. It wasn’t a traditional Christmas light display by any means. It was more like something out of a fever dream with a giant tree make of plastic pink flamingos, talking Christmas trees, a giant polar bear made of car doors and a field of color changing penguins. It also had an educational element to it mostly talking about conservation. For me, it was also nice to get out of the house and experience something new knowing that it would be the last I’d be doing it for a while after my surgery.

Brandywine Zoo Photos

Everyone knows I like a good zoo. Animals are just fun to photograph. I’d never been to the Brandywine Zoo in Wilmington, Delaware even though it’s only a few minutes from home, so in July 2018 we decided to finally check it out. It’s a very small zoo, but it’s a lot of fun. You can get up close with the animals and it it’s easy to see all of it in a few hours. Of course, we chose the hottest day ever to visit, but we survived even if a few of the animals looked very tired due to the oppressive heat too.

Watertown, New York Photos

Watertown PhotosThe last of my photos from our trip to the 1000 Islands are finally online. We took advantage of the cool Fall weather that had already arrived in northern New York and visited the Burrville Cider Mill in Watertown where we watched cider being pressed before stocking up on so many varieties of delicious apples to take home. We stopped in Watertown again on the way home from Alex Bay and visited the New York State Zoo at Thompson Park. The zoo is populated with animals that are native to New York.

You can check out this album right here. While you’re at it, check out the other photos from this trip from the 1000 Islands and Upper Canada Village.
