ABC Wednesday – Z

This ABC Wednesday brings us to the letter Z.

Zoo

Minnesota Zoo Logo

The Minnesota Zoo is filled with things for children to do and we did them with the Grandson and his parents last Sunday.

Below you can see I was being stalked by a little Tiger. He was practicing his stalking techniques. His t-shirt is actually from the San Diego Zoo . ‘Z-Z-Z-Zoooo’.

Zephyr

At one time you could take a ride and dine on the Minnesota Zephyr. A train that took you on a ride through the Minnesota country side. Unfortunately it is now closed down.

Zumbrota, Minnesota

Zumbrota Area Historical Society located in the former City Hall & Fire Hall. There is a large Z on the front of the building.

Zumbrota is home to the only functioning covered bridge left in Minnesota.

Zipping

  2. Oh, I love the little tiger! So sweet! And the Zephyr looks wonderful - pity it's closed now.

    Tell me, I've seen many pictures of covered bridges, but I've never known why they were built like that. Was it to protect vehicles from the wind? Do tell!

    The greyhounds, zipping or zzzzz-ing - gorgeous as always! I have one right here znoring away right now! He seems settled! :D

  5. Hi Babooshka,
    Thanks for visiting. Didn't mean to tire you out. ;) Sometimes I get carried away!

    Hi Jay
    Glad you enjoyed all the animal (the wild and not so wild). Very happy that Sid is setting in so well, that is great news! Thanks Jay!

    Hi Kate,
    I love seeing photos of other's part of the world too, just facinating. I think the hounds love to be seen as well. They seem to like to have their photos taken.
    Thank you Kate.
