Here's a fun photo of four Humboldt penguins at my local zoo. There are a total of 30 of them in the Penguin Cave. And I don't even know all of their names or sexes. It's also the closest exhibit to the Welcome Center, where I'll be stationed this Saturday morning/early afternoon. So I might get a chance to view them when I finish my shift. They're outside of their cave, standing near the pond, where they like to take a dip, and go for a swim. The others who aren't pictured are surrounding them, waiting to make any interaction with the zookeepers and the zoo guests. There might be some double exposure here, due to the sun reflecting from the glass tank in their exhibit. So enjoy this photo! I'll be back tomorrow night with an update on my onboarding and scheduilng day at Goodwill tomorrow afternoon at noon with Danielle. I'll be back tomorrow morning briefly to do some catching up on notifications. See you then.

I can't believe it. I can see three of them. I usually can't find the animals and birds.

The penguins are probably taking their sweet time to show their "wares".

. I look forward to your vivid pictures when you do have time to post them.

So true. I'll post what I can every weekend. I'll do a new one on Saturday night.
