I have of late been taking my lunch in the Parc de la Tête d'Or which is the Park of the Head of Gold or Golden Head Park. And today I had a stroll around the zoo which I had been to before though I didn't see all of it. I thought that I would take a few pictures and post them here. The first is an amur leopard which was just strolling up and down his cage. There was a dad next to me explaining to his son why the tiger was bored/angry (can't remember which). The second are a pair of lemurs. All very cute.
I then had a walk around the botanical gardens. Obviously it is spring so there wasn't too much out but there was an amazing blossom tree (3) which, as I was taking a picture, had a very small number of blossoms (Blossom is the term for the flowers on a stone fruit tree) being taken away by the breeze to make a very serine moment.
Next I saw some bluebells (4) which always reminds me of the woods at Pangbourne which at this time of year would be sea of blue.
And lastly some daffodils (5). Who can't like daffodils. The best part about the zoo is that it is free and it is on the door step of work.
Right after that interlude I'm of to go and do some very manly things like drink some beer while watching a football match, fart and cut down a tree with just an axe while singing The Lumberjack Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpxQp3Hy5nk)
