redbird: a male cardinal in flight (cardinal)
( Jul. 11th, 2010 09:12 pm)
[personal profile] cattitude and I went to the Bronx Zoo this afternoon. The specific reason for visiting was lion cubs, but mostly it's just that we hadn't been in a while (we've been members for years). I also am trying to get back into the habit of walking more, now that the knees are somewhat better. (Stairs can still be problematic, but walking on more-or-less flat ground has gotten much easier.)

We stopped briefly to look at red-winged blackbirds (and sit on a bench in the shade), then took the bus home. About half an hour after we got home, it started to rain. I grabbed my shoes and we headed outside. It was a good rain, cool and moderately heavy, and much needed. We didn't go into the park, because of the lightning and thunder, just stood on the sidewalk and got wet.
