"If you step on a butterfly, you change the future of the human race."

It's a banded peacock!

I took this picture at the zoo last friday. I can't find this one on the zoo's id guide or in any of my books. Any of y'all have a clue what species it is?

Not just zoo pics

I got a call Friday evening from the lovely LJ-less Nissa, asking if I was interested in going to a play at the Guthrie with her, as the also lovely & LJ-less Darek was sick.

We went to the play 1776 which I knew nothing about. It turned out to be really good. It was a comedy and musical about the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence.

One of the gorgeous features of the new Guthrie building is the Endless Bridge. It has a beautiful view of the river. It was also pretty crowded Friday because you could also see some of the 35W bridge wreckage.
