Bronx Zoo - Butterfly Garden
August 29th, 2008
After braving the mass of humanity packed into the Children’s Zoo, Mom and I stopped at this coy pond to decide where to go next. We figured the zombie hordes would avoid the butterfly garden entirely, and we were right!
I overcame my fear of flying bugs fairly quickly. They overcame their fear of me just as fast.
Look, one landed on Mom’s hat. I don’t know why Dad’s so afraid of these. I guess they remind him of clowns.
By this point, I already liked butterflies. I mean they kiss with their eyelashes; what’s not to like? But then, I saw a sign which made me LOVE them.
I could go for some cakes right now…

James - I know you are brilliant so it must be your webmaster that did not check the speilling of the fish pond. It’s koi not coy. You just can’t get good help these days.
Got big plans for your birthday? Your Uncle Nick will be 18 two days before your birthday. He’s pretty excited about that. You’re probably excited about being the big 2 too. Have fun and enjoy it. Tell your Mom and Dad good luck with 2.
Lots of love from Texas.
And yes, the mis-spelling of spelling was intentional to see if your webmaster will catch it
Perhaps the fish were indeed coy:
Tending to avoid people and social situations; reserved.
Affectedly and usually flirtatiously shy or modest.
My parents used to have a koi pond (maybe they still do, not sure), but it was neat because you could hand-feed the fish and they’d kiss the pellets out of your fingers. Nom nom nom.
