Frogwortz 2016

Assalaamu Alaykum world. October 2016 I went to the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium when the zoo's Frogwortz event was at the zoo.  I believe it was the theme because of Fantasic Beasts and Where to Find Them Part 1 was coming out in theaters November 18, 2016.  I went with my grandmother, mom and sister Alexus though before we went to the zoo we stopped at Olive Garden to eat.

The following five pictures are of a pair of cougars sleeping in a den that was painted some for Halloween.    Cinn likes cougars and also bats.






The following two pictures of a sign by the Songbird Aviary at the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium.   The sign below says the following:

A SENSE OF WONDER

...rediscover the joy, the excitement, and mystery of the world we live in...
-Rachel Carson

Meet Rachel Carson, your spiritual guide through the Migratory Songbird Aviary

"Never silent in the face of destructive trends, Rachel Carson fed a spring of awareness across America and beyond.  A biologist with a gentle, clear voice she welcomed her audiences to her love of nature.   With an equal determination she warned us of the dangers we pose to nature.   Always concerned, always eloquent a tide of environmental consciousness has not been ebbed."

Please take the time to marvel at the sweet song, learn the birds name, or think about the possibilities. Bring wildlife into your won life through use of feeders, water pools and plant life, An awareness of and appreciation of nature, in all forms, brings us closer to ourselves and opens doors of wonder and awe, a true sense of wonder.
