Spanish is pretty easy to learn since English
has so many words that are derived from Latin.

Canada Geese and Zebra
April 29, 2014

I convinced Russell to stop on our
way home to drive through this 
wildlife park. Their purpose is:
Wildlife Safari is dedicated to conservation, 
education and research of native and exotic wildlife.
 It is our commitment to educate the public
 about the status of animals around the world.
Besides the Zebras and geese we saw
lots of other animals from all over the world.
Here are only a few of the photos I took.
Enjoy!

on these cattle and how heavy they must be.
The cattle did walk rather slowly.

A-Z 2014 Challenge W is for Wheels

There are no actual Spanish words that begin with the 
letter "W". There are a few words used in Spanish 
that begin with "W", but they are words borrowed
 from other languages such as English. 
For example: "winsurf","walkman" and "western". 
Because of that I will be using an English word today!

W is for Wheels
While driving north on I-5
we pulled off the freeway 
and stopped so I could get
these farm photos. 
By the way the Spanish word
for wheels is "rueda".

Someone spent an enormous amount of 
time and most likely money to amass
this wonderful rusting collection.
Have a lovely day and don't forget to
