The Memphis Zoo is located in Memphis, Tennessee. It is very easy drive to get there. Since it was overcast and not hot, a lot of the animals were out

Blue Sky and Blossoming Trees
I am so glad that Spring is finally here. It was a long Winter. Tomorrow starts my travels to Southern States. I hope to get some great photos.
Morning Walk
Sun is out. Sky is blue. Temperature is about 60 degrees. It a great morning to walk in around the park.
Oh, and the geese are out. Avoid the dropping and the babies.
In five days, my 2500+ mile trip into Dixie and my visit to the land of the Cajuns is schedule to begin. So, you can expect more photographs and less drawings over the next 6 weeks.
Memphis, Tennessee
What is there to do in Memphis, Tennessee that doesn’t involve music, where you can take picture and be outside on a summer day? After many web searches, I found it! The Memphis Botanical Gardens.
This place was huge, several different gardens, lots of plants, and plenty of photos opportunities. And, it was hot, but very quiet and relaxing. There is plenty to see in the gardens.
Arbor Lodge State Historical Park
Located at Arbor Lodge State Historical Park is the home of J. Sterling Morton, who is the founded Arbor Day. The home features furniture and art work that is original to the home. It also has an original Tiffany Window that take 15 men to open it.
J. Sterling Morton is the father of Joy Morton who founded the Morton Salt Company.
Arbor Day Farms
I finally got to visit Arbor Day Farms. It has been on my stop list during previous travel adventures, but something always happened and I had to readjust my plans. Now, my only regret is that I was not able to spend more time here. A few hours does not allow you to explore the entire area.
Arbor Day Farms is the birthplace of Arbor Day. Julius Sterling Morton moved to Nebraska in 1954 and decided to start planting trees.
Out In the Snow
Today’s adventure took me out into the snow and 5 degree weather. There is a limited number of pictures you can take before your fingers and thumb starts to go numb and hurt. Yes! How can they be numb and hurt at the same time.
It is not snowing, that is snow blowing off the trees.
Below are the snapshots of the videos I took. The videos are located on YouTube. I looked for other hosting sites, but my quick search turned up Facebook and YouTube. Click on the link below the pictures to see the vide0.

Botanica Wichita
Off the Interstate, down the road, over a river, next to a park, lies the Wichita Gardens. Statues standing guard, flowers blooming every where, fish swimming in the ponds, and a dragon running through the Chinese Gardens.
Housed in the mist of the gardens is a toy train which run along it’s railroad town and comes with it’s own conductor. All aboard!
Bluebonnet Swamp
Located off of one of the busiest street in Baton Rouge, you will find Bluebonnet Swamp. It was a nice morning for a walk.
Or, laying in the sun.
When visiting the swamp remember to:
- Stay on the path – their are critters larking in the swamp.
- Beware of touching plants – it could be poison ivy.
- Wear insect repellant – because the unofficial bird of Louisiana in the mosquito.
