As they say....

Life is what happens while we are busy making plans.

I have a very sick sister.  And this will take awhile, but it will be Ok pretty soon, so meanwhile I will show you some Zoo pictures of snakes, the beautiful and deadly, for which I have no names whatsoever, little birds and some other pictures of deadly places, as it turns out.  Beauty amidst the rubble, one of them. 

There may be a string of snakes to come, and they are even more beautiful in person, AS long as there is a thick piece of bullet proof glass between you and them.  Let's see, that is an object there.. ok we are good to publish...
