Northwest Passage

The Memphis Zoo is opening a new exhibit called Northwest Passage. It opens to the public next month, but members are allowed in early for a sneak peak. It is going to be such a cool exhibit. Right now, the only animals in there are the polar bears, but when it is finished, it will also house seals, sea lions, eagles, and three black bears. There is an underwater viewing area for both polar bears and the seals and sea lions.
Not together, of course. There are plexiglass windows where you can get up close and personal with the bears.
And the whole thing is decorated with beautiful Native American artworks found in that region of the country.
It's going to be great.

Great pictures, as usual, Becky! You have such a great eye!

Thank you Buck. I always did enjoy photography, and though about majoring in it, but my dad said I'd most likely end up taking studio portraits. One of my biggest regrets--that, and not majoring in art.
