Much To Our Surprise…
by John Weckerle
…we join you yet again from the Northeast U.S. – specifically, Gillette, NJ. Our return flight scheduled for yesterday was canceled, and our rescheduled flight leaves this afternoon.
For now, we provide a few images from the Turtle Back Zoo, Essex County, NJ. This is a small zoo – perhaps the size of Wildlife West Nature Park overall, but with some rides, picnic areas, and a reptile house. They had a very nice prairie dog exhibit, but we were very unimpressed with the penguin exhibit – two penguins huddled in about a square foot of shade with no other shelter apparent. Overall, it’s a good zoo, but a little difficult from the photographic standpoint.
Within a couple of days, we will provide commentary on the aquarium in Virginia Beach, VA.
