(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.
Dear Elizabeth,
Off to Connecticut Avenue, I see.
Hope you stayed cool and had fun.
Have a happy day -
Lynn
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!
Great shot. Dolores and I need to go to the zoo for a few photographs.
Blooming for you!
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.
Hi Elizabeth, You would think the big guy would be in the water for a swim, Hope all is fine. Down to last three days of vacation.
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, the National Zoo is a great place to go for photos. I need to take another trip over there.
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.
Looks like the elephants are living a life of luxury with that pool :)
Hope y'all had a great day at the zoo!
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!
Elizabeth....I love the zoo.....there's one in Knoxville.......need to get back down there......Thanks!
Hope you had a great weekend!---Rob
Go Vols!
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.
Hello Elizabeth and a wonderful post & photo that VB missed many moons ago, great photo!
VB ;o)
I missed this one too, Elizabeth. Nice shot. Hope to see you back posting soon.
Blooming for you!
