Today was an absolutely beautiful, indian summer day with fall, practically and literally, just around the corner so I took the day off and went to the Atlanta zoo. It couldn't have been more perfect: great weather, no crowds, and I finally got to finally see my baby in person. Her name is Mei Lan and she is one year old.
I was going to show you her photo here but I can't figure out how to get my photos inserted where I want to in this post and I've wasted at least a half hour on that so all I can say is that she was taking a nap the whole time I hung around the panda exhibit.
You can watch her yourself during the work weekday here. (note to self - figure out how to format this thing better!) http://zooatlanta.org/animals_panda_cam.php4
The gorillas were too majestic in their grouping of at least two females with about 3 or 4 little ones hanging around doing what all youngsters do; picking on each other.
The meerkats were amusing as well with the two groups currently separated from each other. I think it is the males and females. But they can see each other through the glass enclosure and were busily showing off and scouting. One posed very nicely for me.
All in all, it was a great pre-birthday gift to myself.
