Zoooooooooooooo!!!!!

Danny, Ginny and I spent an afternoon at The Prospect Park Zoo a few weeks ago.

It was rad.  What a great little zoo.  I live less than a twenty minute walk away, and I had never been before.  That was foolish!  Foolish, I tell you!  For many reasons, the main one being- dingoes.  OMG DINGOES.  They are maybe the cutest animals in ever.  The most adorable creatures that have ever existed.  Their pleasant smiles, playful attitudes, and ability to interact with the viewers on the other side of the fence made them incredibly fun to watch, while the knowledge that they are actually ruthless killers increased the intrigue. 

When I'm reincarnated, I would like to come back as a dingo.  I'd consider that an achievement of epic proportions.

The other animals were cool too.  There was a sea lion show, and this thing where you could pop up like a ground hog.  Also, the nocturnal animals were very entertaining, but the room was so dark that there was no way I could photograph it.

Enjoy these pictures of aminals including this one of a SUPER HAPPY DINGO.

Inspiration Fridays Part Deux: Favourite Awkward Animals

I'm inspired by even more things, so I decided to post two Inspiration Fridays posts this week.

This post is about some of my favourite animals.  Why are they my favourites?  Because they make no sense.  These animals don't seem like they could possibly be real but, they most certainly are.  This makes them extraordinarily loveable.  It's almost as if they are fantasy creatures, but they aren't.  

Yes, I'm perfectly aware that it's Saturday, but, this deer has fangs.

That, my friends, is a Chinese Water Deer.  They really do have fangs (tusks).



This is a Highland Cow.




This is an Angora Rabbit.




This is a Star-Nosed Mole.  Maybe the scariest of this bunch.




This is a Sun Bear.




This is a Kiwi.




These are two Bush Babies.




These are two Emperor Tamarins.




These are Narwhals.





This is a Coatimundi.




This is a most-adorable Red Panda.




When you are having a bad day, just remember- You might not be as cute as these animals, but you also are not as awkward.

Happy Saturday!

Inspiration Fridays: Look at Me

We share so much information through our eyes.  It's amazing.  I've heard it said that the eyes are the window to the soul, and I completely agree.  When you look into someone's eyes, I mean really look into them, if they are allowing themself to be at all vulnerable, you will see what they are thinking.  As an actor, and a teacher at an acting school, I'm reminded of this over, and over again.  It's fundamental.

Which is why these photographs astound me. These aren't humans, but in an instant, it's so easy to see the incredible depth in these animals. Feel their souls resonating with yours.

It's beautiful.
