life with monkey

yesterday, we braved cruddy morning rain and overcast skies and headed down to the san diego zoo. we hadn’t been down there for a couple of years, so there were a few new things to see. the new elephant enclosure is HUGE! it’s a far cry from the tiny yard they had before. we’d let our membership lapse since our last visit, so we had no clue that there were even any plans for such a big project. now that our membership has been renewed, we went back to check it out. and we saw:

panda booty…

and panda side.

gorilla booty…

and gorilla side.

llama booty and llama side, all at once!

along with monkeys and baby flamingos and tigers and camels and… well, you get the idea.

and when we came home, i sat at my craft table and worked on a new bit in the artbook:

i’m not 100% sure that it’s complete yet (as usual). i’ll come back to it in a few days and see how it feels.
