This smelled SO good. #pointdefiance #pnw #yellow #spring

Bald cypresses growing out at Point Defiance Park (photo from last fall). These deciduous conifers lose their needles each winter, turning vibrant yellow and red in fall.

Thanks to our mild west coast climate, which puts us in USDA Frost Zone 8-9, a lot of trees from the American South can grow here.

A visit to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium last weekend. Last two photos, I promise (except for a shark video). These two photos show some of the amazing landscaped grounds in full bloom, but don't do it justice. You must see it. #PointDefiance #zoo #landscape #flowers #bumblebee #nature #Tacoma #photography #GooglePixel

"Charlotte gave birth to a female muskox calf, Willow, on September 7. The fuzzy calf is becoming more steady on her little legs while staying close to mom. As the adorable calf grows bigger and stronger, she will continue to bond with Charlotte in the muskoxen habitat and behind the scenes."

A visit to the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium last weekend. I can't say enough how much we enjoyed our visit and what a beautiful place it is. A portion of the zoo was closed that day, the Asian Forest Sanctuary. We found out later that the closure was because they had to euthanize Suki, their Asian elephant. She was old and declining. 😥

I'll trickle in some photos.

A walrus is swimming in its zoo enclosure and is surfacing to catch a breath. The nose, mouth agape, and walrus whiskers poke above the water surface.
