.for.the.love.of.animals.
my roommate is an animal lover, through and through. i didn't grow up around animals, the token dog i had was a german shepard in africa and she was a guard dog, pretty to look at but not so much to play with. i'm actually quite scared of animals, big or small, cuddly or not. i am drawn to PBS and Discovery channels for their nature documentaries. does that count?
recently, we went to the Baltimore Zoo. she needed her animal fix. since moving in with me 8 weeks ago and realizing that the only pet i have is a cactus plant that i ignore, she's been without. poor dear.
they're not deer. they're something that starts with an "S" and originate from africa. i kept yelling out "Bambi!" tho.
this was also part of the "africa trail". now that i think about it, the Baltimore Zoo has a very good african section.
oh, how i love giraffes. the smallest one kept following the biggest one around. it was adorable. i think i stood there for a good 10 minutes, just gawking at them.
and then the biggest of them all: the elephants. this one was alone, seperate from the other two females. i don't know why. my only criticism of this zoo is that the placards didn't provide much information about the animals beyond what the species were. i wanted to know the names, how they came to the zoo, what their habits were etc. *that* interests me. the Zoo in DC is a bit better, with even more animals. this time around, the polar bears were resting in the shade, the lions weren't doing much and i couldn't find one of the cheetahs.

.bird.nest.love.
out on my fire escape my roommate spotted a mama bird who created a nest out of an old flower pot.
she's guarding two eggs.
so my roommate and i will guard over her until her babies hatch.
we've named her Guadalupe.
we're going to be aunts and we love them already!
Happy Love Thursday!

.international.love.
spent a long weekend in Puerto Rico with jason. during the walk to the beach, we passed a couple. i observed them for a moment. they were oblivious to the lovely water, the palm trees shading them, to people milling about. they were too busy being in love.
happy love thursday.
