A moment of silence...

I decided to blog it after pondering for sometime, dedicating a moment of silence to a zebra that I do not know. I have never done attachment for that area and though I fed the giraffes before, I'm not that close to the zebras.


But while looking at my photos, I once again felt the saddness I had experienced at that spot.  I felt the keeper's tenderness as he stroked the zebra for the last time.  Most of the photos showed the zebra's eyes which I felt were so big that it gives me a feeling that the zebra died a sudden death.  This photo, however, had its eyes partially covered and thus was less frightening and more solemn.

I do not know why it died nor did I plan to ask.  Partly there isn't a chance to ask the keeper.  I don't see their need to explain to the visitors on site either.  And partly because they seem sad (and busy as well first while trying to resuscitate it and then while trying to remove it from the site).  I just don't think it is appropriate to ask.

Actually there were other stuff I planned to blog but somehow I lost the feel already.  Plus the photos did not really turn out well.  It is the second time I brought my bro's toy out and I am still learning thus the photos did not turn out well.  But as I went through my old photos, I realised I once just took photo for the sake of remembering/recording my memories only.  But over the years, as I took more and more photos, I begun to have higher expectation of the photos.  And I am starting to hate my unsteady hands haha.  Anyway I posted some of the better photos from the toy in my FB.  I hope to improve further...

Last note, I realised there is a new recycling method to applaud for


Recycling the maps.. except if the maps were in good condition, throwing into the box might not be such a good idea?  I guess still can be improved further...
