Zookeeper with Kevin James was filmed here and they were promoting it all over the zoo. These are some photos and video from our 2011 visit to Franklin Park Zoo in MA. Was there just in time for the lion to wake up for one minute, roar and then go back to sleep. It was so cool! Lots of great animals, including a baby gorilla making funny faces, lemur in a bucket, jaguar hacking a hairball, and a scary butterfly sanctuary.

This is a photo I took with my iphone yesterday during a charity booze cruise. I think that wind turbines are adorable. They look so minimalistic and from the future. We should be using more and more of them!

This is an interesting design, must be a sexy scene to watch your partner get all sudsy from the comfort of your own bed. Then again, what if they need to poop? Although I don’t see where the toilet is.

I love huge windows and pretty bathrooms. Imagine how relaxing it must be to take a bath there. ahh…

This pup was found near Blue Hill Maine. It was a very early pup (End of April) and severely dehydrated. It was found on the shore and watched for several hours to make sure its mother didn’t return to get it. Then it was rescued by Rosie Seton from Allied Whale and taken to Marine Animal Lifeline for rehabilitation.

Federal officials are likely to close Pacific salmon stocks from Oregon south to the Mexican border, The New York Times has reported.

“The Central Valley fall Chinook salmon are in the worst condition since records began to be kept,” the newspaper quoted Robert Lohn, regional administrator for the National Marine Fisheries in Portland, Ore., as saying. “This is the largest collapse of salmon stocks in 40 years.”

The possible culprits? The newspaper listed two possibilities: A battle on the Sacramento River between irrigation advocates and environmentalists and fishing groups, and abnormal fishing conditions that might be affecting the food chain of young salmon.
