(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Another Hot Day at the Zoo

Another hot day around Arlington, Virginia and Washington, DC area, the temperature in high 90s. It has been unusually hot in our area this past week.

Many local residents, like this elephant, have been looking for ways to cool off. The new pool at the Washington Zoo looked very tempting.

Elizabeth -- We're melting over here, too.  No spring.  Just full speed ahead into summer.  Not complaining though.

Elizabeth,

Yikes, High 90s.  What about humidity?  I'm surprised the poor guy isn't in the water cooling off.

We had rain today and more forecast for this weekend.   That's very, very unusual for us.

Elizabeth, I think that if I were that elephant, I would have gotten into the water to get out of the heat!

Hi Elizabeth, it looks like you were on some high ground looking down to get a shot like that.  I see steps into the water; it would be fun to watch the elephant go in and get out using the steps.  They really are quite grace creatures for their size.

Elizabeth,

Earlier this week it was high 90s on the east coast, and high 70s here in Tucson.  ...and our humidity was in the 30s...

Elizabeth or Pat:  If either of you would be so kind, the next time you're at the National Zoo... would you please visit the monkey exhibit, and give Dick Cheney a banana for me ?  Thanks so much...  :)

Elizabeth,  I always like zoos so this photo is a treat.  Our temperature actually made it to 60 degrees today so maybe we will get some spring type weather.

Look at that sweet smile! I have an affinity for elephants, and even moreso after finding out that according to Surviving Your Own Serengeti, that I TOO am an elephant!

The East Coast has taken over from California.  We are having an incredibly cool year and lots of rain.  This guy should be in his element though.

How odd that the pool has steps in it. The pool at the Zoo here is sloped, just like it would be out in the wild.
