This morning I was wondering who was watching who. |

|
|
|
Spiders! |
There were a couple of open exhibits. One for the beautiful spider on the left, and her orb web. Another for a fishing spider on the right, which Mike is inspecting on the back of a leaf there. |

|
Artana took hundreds of pictures with her new camera. |
Gorgeous tarantula |
|
|
|
|
Bearded Dragon, sitting under a heat lamp. |
I've never seen them climbing the walls before, it almost didn't look real. |
Egyptian turtle foot, just adorable. |
|
|
|
Butterflies! This was my first visit to this exhibits. |

The tiger momma is all alone now, they've just recently sent her girls down to Tacoma's Point Defiance Zoo, where there was a new exhibit built for them. |
Snow Leopards, I always have to visit them. |
|
|
|
|
Then we went to the nearby park for a picnic, and we saw bunnies and squirrels, of course. |

And here are three pictures from Artana that I've swiped. The first two from a touristy picture op out front of the spider exhibit, of all three of us, and then a shot she snuck of me taking pictures in the butterfly exhibit. |
