  • Number One Goose, and Giraffe Have Long Tongues

    Okay, \”G\” is a bonus letter day because I have a ton of pictures of geese at the zoo, because they make me laugh; and I took some pictures of the giraffes on my last visit.

    This big guy was nesting in a planter immediately in front of the restaurant windows.

    Next to the stairs.

    And he was hissing.

    Hrr?

    Okay, giraffe it is then!

    Their tongues are black!

    I had no idea of this fact until I saw this lady mackin\’ on the tree.

    I\’m pretty sure this is the two-year-old male that lives in the enclosure with the three other lady giraffes.

    They are so dopey-looking when they walk around, and especially when they run.

    I still wanna pet one.

    Tomorrow, we visit the harbor seals and I\’ll tell you a story about Pier 39.

    Bonus, for you fans of Noon & Wilder – for the holidays this past year, we wrote a short story, Six Geese Laid – A Holiday Fable.  The talented Vance Bastian performed it on the WROTE podcast.  If you haven\’t had a listen, step on over there and give it a try.

    Thank you for joining me for the A-Z Blog Challenge.  If you’re blogging in the challenge, please leave me a link so I can come visit you too.  If you have a moment, please check out these other fine blogs:

    My theme on my Knoontime Knitting craft blog is Letterforms In Nature and the Built Environment.  I’ll be exploring my daily round, looking for shapes in the natural world and build environment.

    The theme at Noon & Wilder is The A To Z of Chicago.  Since I live here in the city and we have our Chicagoland Shifters based here, I figured I’d share a window into the city, Noon & Wilder style.

    The Nice Girls Writing Naughty have a new home, and we’re blogging in the challenge again this year.  Throughout the month you’ll be hearing from each of the Nice Girls, and during the RT Booklovers Convention from April 12th to the 17th, you’ll be getting live convention reports.  Join the conversation!

    The Writer Zen Garden’s brand new website is up and running, and we’re bringing you posts from me, Noony; my partner in crime, Rachel Wilder (the Wilder half of Noon & Wilder); the talented Darla M. Sands – a blogger in her own right, see below; as well as Grace Kahlo, Evey Brown, and author Tina Holland.  Check it out!
