Yesterday my partner suggested a visit to Henry Vilas Zoo on the Northwest side of Lake Wingra in Madison, WI. You bet. It’s a beautiful spring day. One of those days a person just aches to get out, take a walk, breath spring air, and feel the freedom of being out, brushing shoulders with little kids, old adults, and like minded baby boomers. Off we went, camera in hand, phones in purse and pocket.

A zillion people were out celebrating Earth Day, celebrating a good day of our long awaited Spring, celebrating life in a liberally liberating excursion through an ‘under construction’ zoo, as improvements re-shape the topography of this no-fee menagerie. Too much to see, too much to shoot all at once.

Enjoy the few new images of various creatures in residence at Henry Vilas Zoo, and several occasional visitors. Other days will bring other images. The first 16 images were taken at the zoo.

Last two images of the first 16 - the loon with fish, and a muskrat were taken in Lake Wingra. They just happened to be there. It's one of those things that happen when you always shoot and take your camera everywhere.

I am grateful for your visit. Thank you.
