Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree, merry, merry king of the bush is he...
A sign along the way that I agree with
More flowers
In some of the gardens were these rustic displays
How could I resist taking a picture like this? :-)

There were a lot of wild Canada Geese there pecking in the grasses. This slightly leucistic one caught my eye. Note its neck.Continues Here: RI Zoo 5
Note: Thank you so much for coming by and for your comments. I have read them all and they made me smile. Things are still difficult at the moment, so my visits and posts are hit-or-miss these days. I'm just trying different things to relieve the stress. Otherwise, I'm fine. Family is fine. Just gotta keep on keepin' on. ;-)
Bird Girl mentioned the anteater on page two of this zoo series. I was very surprised by how big they are. While they weigh much less than I do, their bodies are large. It looked like I could have hopped on its back and been carried around. It was the first time I had ever seen one. Amazing creature.

more more more! nature is God's best work of art.
Oh, Lin, these are gorgeous. I love that you thought to photograph the sign with the Emerson quote. It's a good one.
Peace,
Pagan
More great pictures. Those flowers are different from what I've seen before. Beautiful post.
That Emerson quote is defintely words to live by!
Love the pic of the little boy in the mask. Enjoyed them all.
Very nice photos. Thanks for sharing Emerson's quote--that's very good advice.
Hang in there & don't worry about the blogosphere. When life gets stressful the stressed should relax.
We'd all do well to remember that quote! More nice shots...and that wasn't a real spider was it???
That is one great zoo! Did the Kookaburra laugh?
They really do make funny noises! :)
Cheers, Klaus
Excellent photos. Your photos are getting beautiful I say :)
Those are wonderful pictures and I love them all. You always bless us with perfect photos. The sign is great! Glad things are going fairly well right now and have you and your mom in my prayers daily.
May things be back to good soon! That third photo just has to be a hydrangea! Lovely photos as always, Lin. It seems many are going through turbulent times...don't know why, but I hope there's goodness at the end of this. Blessings!
When I was a child we sang that song in school - I NEVER knew a kookaburra was a BIRD - for some reason I thought the song was about a bear??? Funny! Great shot - he looks like a Kingfisher.
Does that little kid have a live tarantula? That is the picture of the day!
Lin, of course the kookaburra is my favorite, but I love every photo. Thanks! I hope things have eased off a bit for you.
Lin: A lot of great photos from the zoo. I'm enjoying my visit.
Loved this series of photos and I especially appreciate that you posted the photo of the sign with the quote on it. Nothing could be truer.
I love these newest photographs, the Emmerson quote and all the flowers. Thank you! Roxanne
More great shots. I want to go back to the zoo now... or maybe I'll go through my last shots and see if there are any I haven't posted or forgot about. :-)
No one could resist that picture! Glad you shared it!
As for stress, do what it takes. Never good to get yourself more stressed! Most people understand, I think. I also never worry about the ones who don't!
I think that might be a Piebald Canada Goose, and, i'm pretty sure I saw the exact one on Long Island, NY! You can email me at keithp2012@yahoo.com, here is the photos. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/9421083
Thank you, Keith! I think you're right. :)
