Zoolights

From the awesome reality of salmon spawning to a half million lights at the zoo...talk about extremes! The former is more to our liking, but the boys and I have made a tradition of this post-Thanksgiving excursion. Under cool, clear skies and a nearly full moon it's a pleasant enough way to usher in "the holiday season". This replica of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge with Mount Rainier in the background did strike my fancy.

Our children would have loved this! We were driving around the neighborhood of friends tonight admiring the lights. This is really spectacular though!

As I am a CA girl, I thought the orangish-colored bridge was the Golden Gate! :+)

Warmly,
Kate

Wait, you mean that is not the bridge over the Mississippi with the Memphis pyramid in the background?

I am so disappointed!

Very pretty. I have to admit I love all the colored lights outside this time of year. I would've enjoyed seeing this exhibit.

Nice tradition! I like the salmon better, too, but the lights must have been impressive!
