First, the pears. I’m rather amazed at how reluctant these pears are to ripen. This picture was taken in early September, and you can see how green they remain:

They’re an odd trio now, clumped out on the curb, reminders of other times and incarnations, ready to be hauled off somewhere.

Disney Does the Zoo
Posted in animals, culture, e-scrapbook, entertainment, nature, pets, photography, politics, thoughts, travel on March 26, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I have a lot of ambivalence about animals in cages or pens. It’s born of childhood visits to Como Park Zoo in St. Paul, Minnesota, and seeing the pacing cats behind bars in small cages. Fortunately, those cages are long gone now, and zoological parks have generally been upgraded and are more “humane” (ahem). Someone [...]
