Oregon Zoo In Bloom

Spring has finally sprung at the Oregon Zoo...

AND LOOK WHO'S BACK!!

Yes, the three bears have reappeared! (Goldilocks remains missing. If you have any information, please call.)

Yep, things are getting back to "normal" around here...

Flowers are blossoming and the grass is lush and green, and most of the animals seem to be enjoying the warmer temperatures.

Construction continues...

But our friends in the orange vests finally have something to show for all their hard work. If you hike down to the lower bear viewing area, near the cougar exhibit, and glance up, you might catch a glimpse of one of the new California Condors in their new home (which officially opens in May).

And speaking of cougars...

I just love sleeping cats.

But, you know, non-sleeping cats are great, too!

Born September 7, 2013, the lion cubs are now 7 months old!

Ah, nothing like a good, warm rock to lay on in the sunshine!

Okay, maybe there are one or two animals who long for the days of snow yore.

But things must change, as always, and I'm excited to see what'll be new at the zoo on my next visit!
