April at the zoo

I have a membership to the zoo here, and it's been a great investment. The zoo is a safe, pleasant place I can go to get out of my apartment and be outside, and bonus, there are animals! There's even a large gazebo with free wifi, and I often go there to grade papers away from the distractions in my office or apartment. That's what I was doing on Saturday for about five hours, but I also managed to take a few pictures.
