At the last minute, I got invited to see Wicked in NYC. The performance happened to coincide with the close of The Gates in Central Park (by that guy who seems to have made a career out of wrapping things). Ran out of the show, which was about 6 blocks south, and managed to get some shots before dark.

Took another stab at the site design, but this time I am pretty please … and think it might stick for the long haul. LOVELY color schema this time through (IMHO), and I have managed to keep the vast majority of the site architecture intact.

Wandered around the zoo for a few hours. While it was unseasonably warm, it was still much too cold to be out there without some sort of natural fur coating.
