Nature is Nice June 28, 2008
I’ve had a nature-filled few days. On Wednesday I went to the Zoological Society of London for work, which runs and operates London Zoo. In order to get to the place, though, we had to walk through Regent’s Park to get there. Being a royal park, it gets tended to by royal gardeners- and you can really tell. The flowers were super bright, and a little robin even popped in to say hello. I felt like Snow White. Unfortunately, 5 minutes later we saw a cat with a dying pigeon in its mouth. Then I remembered that I’m in London.
On Thursday I went into the Amazing Butterflies exhibit at my work. I just popped in on my lunch break to see what it was about, but I ended up staying for about half an hour. It was incredible! When you first walk in it’s a little disarming having a thousand butterflies fly in your face, but after you get used to them it’s quite charming. There were two young children behind me who were decisively NOT having a good time. Butterflies are lovely to children in theory, but apparently in practice it’s not such a good idea.
