For some it is exhilarating when the proscenium curtain is lifted. They sparkle with a radiant energy on stage.
Until the final curtain comes down.

A Monday Window for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge. This Monday I showed off the windows in the fences and walls of the zoo of Worms. The zoo is inclusive and these windows allow small children and visitors in wheelchairs to see into enclosures. This goat was particularly obliging and posed for me.
No winter wonderland.
Yet undeniably winter in the woods.


And then – another walker spotted.
But he is not alone.


Then the inevitable happens.
The Cosmic Photo Challenge: Woodland Winter

The zoo in the town of Worms on the Rhine is a small animals park with – surprise, surprise! – quite a number of animals and not just worms. The fences have windows set in so that children and people in wheelchairs can look into the enclosures. Other windows are more traditional for zoos, like the one in the cage housing the iguana and the one behind which small monkeys live that need warmer temperatures than what Worms can provide.

Runner Ducks are funny creatures. They run like penguins rather than waddle like proper ducks. To me, they always look as if they are missing a couple of limbs when they charge across the ground, their necks outstretched and apparently unable to go slow.
