We like the flower beds here at Busch Gardens. Hearts for February? And the pansy plants that are all over the place. all colors in some spots and then stripes of 3 different colors. 
This lady is petting a small wallaby, I think that is what they are named. we saw some other animals similar to kangaroos that were also in man made pouches.
these two cranes are the ones that were in front of our coach one day last month. I took the picture with my cell phone. and it has taken this long to get them transferred to the computer. they came one day after we had had a hard rain and it was warm. We have had rain, but it is cold. Supposed to warm up next week.
We saw this animal early one nice, sunny, warm day in January. Right after we got our new phones. another picture off my phone. this is a Kinkajou. that is right, sort of looks like a lemur and has a longer snout. He uses his tail for balance and hanging on to limbs. He also curls it around his body when he sleeps. there is a building that houses various small animals and they will take them out to this grassy area and tell about the animal.
We were waiting for the elephants to come out when the Rhino Rally van went by. this is a fun trip thru the park and nearer some of the animals.
The Osmond Brothers. 4 of them. they are good, altho most of us would like the oldest one to not tell so many of his old jokes. Rather hear them sing.
We were sitting on the top row and so was hard to get a good picture. One of them, sorry I do not remember his name, plays one mean drum. Have him play more on the drums and forget the jokes.

The elephant handlers? were preparing the grounds for fun and food for the elephants. They had bananas, apples, sweet potatoes, palm fronds, hay, donuts and left over key lime pie. Popcorn also. The elephants brushed off the pie, ate the rest. The caretakers put some of the food into a plastic barrel and square. Leaving some on top. Stuck some palm leaves in the holes of those containers. The elephants knock over the box and barrel, moving it around so the food will fall out. The elephants eat between 300 to 400 pounds of food a day. Only 40% is digested properly, the rest is waste. The handlers get out the pitch fork and clean up the area every day. I enjoy watching these big beasts. They sleep lying down, and one elephant will stand guard over the others during the night. Taking turns as they only sleep two to three hours at a time.

After the concert we went over to Timbuktu to the Desert Grill Restaurant and theater to see the group "Lets Dance" featuring "Burn the Floor" and they do. We decided to eat lunch there and had Shephards pie. Not bad. While I stood in line, Ernie found a place to sit. with 6 Canadians. French speaking Canadians. two could speak English. fun----They wanted to know about the motor home and we asked about Canada. They smiled big when I mentioned Canada won the hockey game.
Getting late. Talk to you later. jkc
