Flood Pics on our Hwy 75 Detour

@ the US/Canada Pembina border, just heading in to the US...1 lane open
A little further south it was down to 1 lane again...

Kind of funny to see waves lapping onto the 2nd lane...

Here they had tubes running along the lane to hold the waters back...

Surrounded by water...

And more water!

This is nearing Fargo.

(Disclaimer re: pic quality - BB pics!)

Zoo

My momma said there'd be days like this...a little blue, crazy hair, red eyes...
The thinker...with a relaxed wrist...

And I thought my hair was frizzy...

I was amused by the hands & feet...

Nice 'stache...

Aw - I see a baby!

Struttin'

Cat nap...

O hungry?O grumpy?


Mrs Lion...

Mr Lion...

Wondering what the Mrs was worked up about...(she got right excited when she saw a baby through the window)...kinda neat, kinda freaky...

Someone's look needs a little TLC...

Alice the camel has ___ humps...

Oooooooo, Canada Geese...

Mmmm, the world's largest rodent!

Tropical fleurs...

More fleurs...

Apologies for the blurry pic. This little guys was a blur of motion eating his snap pea that he was so excited about & completely unwilling to share with the others!

Flashy Flamingos!

Primping...

Nap time, but that looks like the makings of a very sore neck!

The newly renovated Tropical House is now...Toucan Ridge. Will be great when it's all done I'm sure...but wasn't quite ready for the open house in my opinion.

Was a fun race through the Zoo again with some of my favourite animals...Spence & Graeme...oh, and their Mom - my sis, Lois! :)
