Tuxedo Island at The San Francisco Zoo

-


Both the photo and two videos were taken at the San Francisco Zoo. I absolutely love penguins and if I could, would have one as a pet. They are so cute and animated as you will see here in the videos. They have their own little island at the zoo which is efficiently maintained and cleaned on a daily basis. They are one of the main attractions at the zoo especially during their feeding time which I believe is around 2:30 pm. I could spend hours just sitting their and watching them.



Watching their water antics is always a treat. They many times have races and are very competitive. Other times they just lose the day playing around.



We were treated to a short acappella song by one of our tuxedo friends. They are a very playful bunch.

Enjoy!

That is a funny name, tuxedo island. I wouldn't have appreciated the name until I saw what lived in them. :)

They are so cute... but you don't want them in your house. We have an indoor exhibit at the Louisville zoo, and they are sooo stinky! lol!

You know...I have actually-in my lifetime-contemplated on stealing one of these tuxedo-clad precious things from the zoo! Do you think that's possible, Joanne? Have you tried to yourself? :)

Hollywood and Highland Center

Make sure to click the images to enlarge. These photos should be viewed up close and personal. I absolutely loved the Hollywood and Highland center. It is located along Hollywood Boulevard and is the center of attention. Although it houses restaurants and retail shops, I see it as much more than your average mall. It is an open air complex which I really like. The retail shops and restaurants surround the main complex from the plaza area up to the second and third floors which you can visit by taking either the stairs or escalator on the far sides of the center. The plaza area is complete with some small retail kiosks and a small fountain to cool you during those Summer months. What really fascinated me about this center is all of the intricate artwork as you can see detailed in these photos. The artwork and sculptures are amazing. I walked around for about an hour just snapping shots of the creative artistry. I don't know the history but when you walk up the entrance sta
