We are going to the Zoo
We went to the Phoenix Zoo today. I have been there other times, volunteering at some of the exhibits - Monkey Village, Koala Exhibit, cleaning up Oryx Display.
Even though most of the animals are familiar ones, what struck me about the animals was their behaviour. Today we saw a rhino take a leak, it was powerful but when science kicks in, the say is that larger animals dont take any longer to leak. The rhino went back to chowing the grass. And then it moved on to the other part of its station. It did seem interesting to see what a Rhino does the whole day. It did seem like we caught all the other animals at their sleeping time.
We saw a lion sleep on the side with one of its legs up in the air. looks like armadillos do sleep with their legs up in the air. the tiger exhibit was quiet with the Sumatran tiger sleeping somewhere at the bottom of the raised exhibit. Once you get a closer look, you can still see, though lying seemingly dead, its huge. A Mandrill too took to the bed, but the baboons were busy grooming.
A Mom Orangutan surprised everybody standing spatchcocked against the glass and then took a blanket and covered herself in it. Maybe she was feeding the baby or putting her to bed.
I had seen adult komodo before, this time it was a young Komodo on exhibit. The adult was not out in the open as its too cold.

As a kid, every afternoon, looking up at the hige blobs of white in the sky, I used to think.. Cotton.. And in this book the view from space of the clouds, still they look the same.. Cotton.

Housewarming Gift
My wife's boss brought us candles for housewarming and said that in it is Korean tradition to present something that burns.
My husband then added that in Indian tradition, a father should not gift his daughter anything related to fire, for marriage.
In Korean, if you are married, it means you met your spouse 10000 ties, in previous life?

Bridges
Two Silly goats
on a narrow bridge
A child's excitement
being on a train on
Prakasam Barrage
from a lesson in primary school
A child's fear on a picnic at
Manjeera bridge that is a dam
A single rope in
River rope crossing
The bridges we await
driving in cars - Hoover
A bridge connecting the
South rim and North rim
of GrandCanyon
that the squirrels on either
side havent found
and thus live on an island
unto itself
A landscape bridge
where need not be

Hurricane Vase
Today I looked at a Hurricane Vase
and wondered why there are referred to so.
Dictionary showed a hurricane lamp similar to the vase.
Portrait of a Superman
On a red velvet sheet
a man's head in pencil
is pasted
and where his arm should be
is a reptile in pencil on white
its tail being his palm side
of the hand
Two disjoint images
a head and a reptile
make a Superman's
side profile
with his power
suffusing the whole
red sheet
