Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2004. Mattie was two years old. We took him to the Reston Zoo. What I loved about that Zoo was the fact that it is a small zoo in size, it is quite hands on, and all the animals are child friendly. You can get food there and feed the animals, which was what Peter was doing with Mattie. Peter was trying to give Mattie some food to feed the goats. As you can see Mattie was HIGHLY suspect of what Peter was holding in his hands and was inspecting it very cautiously. Mattie had several visits to this Zoo, and with each subsequent visit, Mattie grew more and more comfortable with the whole experience. Mattie loved and was fascinated by animals, which was why this Zoo was the right fit for him.
Quote of the day: If there be one thing pure, where all beside is sullied, and that can endure when all else passes away - if aught surpassing human deed or word or thought, it is a mother's love. ~ Marchioness de Spadara
I have been working and running around all day regarding the Foundation's Walk. I know it is spring and yet I am not really taking the time to look at the beautiful trees around me. I am so happy that my good friend Mary Ann sent me photos today of what she was seeing around her. The cherry trees are out in DC and they are glorious!
It isn't only the trees, the forsythia is also blooming! It is almost sunshine yellow and glowing. These photos were the highlight of my day. Mary Ann brought me virtual spring and she has reminded me that I have to stop and look more closely at what is around me tomorrow when I go out! I am so glad that these photos reminded me to do this.
