Adventures with Creatures

"I've arranged for a day trip to Lake Tobias," The Yard Man informed me a few days ago.
"All but one of your little actors are coming along!"

What a guy!  What a trip!
Reader Dear, it's a man-made lake with lots of imported animals, picnic areas, and a "safari ride" through the animal park.

Here is a brief "ride" for you, Viewer Dear, if you care to take it.  (No traveling or waiting involved!)

Now us, you see, we had a forty-five minute drive to the spot.*

And, at the park, the  wait to pile onto an open wagon for the ride through woodlands and open meadows was nearly a half-hour long.  But then,  of course, seeing all the animals in such an up-close and personal way was exciting!

And the animals were very impressive!

Very impressive, indeed!

Following the ride, and a picnic lunch by the lake, the small actors spent an extended period of time on the pirate ship nearby.  They appeared to enjoy this impromptu stage, and their self-scripted acting roles, immensely!

However, there were still many animals to impress us!

 
Some of these species, Dear One, made me eye the fences warily,

and closely track those dear little "actor" creatures!*



  *All of us, Viewer Dear, survived!
