Peekaboo

Went to the zoo last week to get some shots for whatever I am going to do for my art class. This was the first time in at least a decade I had been to the Tulsa Zoo.

Yeah....It looked a little worse for wear....

That aside, it was quite nice and fun because I more or less had the whole zoo to myself. Not even staff were around. This was partly because instead of going on the nice, beautiful and warm day, I went the next day when it was cold and drizzly. Eh, no big deal, most of the zoo is indoors anyway.

I believe they did this on purpose. Have you ever been in a deserted zoo? It's kind of creepy. As in a lot creepy. And the Tulsa Zoo has all these different exhibits set up on motion sensors. What this means is that I nearly had a heart attack several times. The worst was when I was walking through the elephant museum area and set off the switch that made some old timey phone ring. Gah! Oh and then there was the time I was off in some remote corner in a swamp area and set off the sensor to make African voices start talking and singing, this was bad enough and then I walked a few steps forward and saw a rather real looking manikin.

I promptly left that area.

When I was in the Rainforest I kept having this feeling I was being watched....
