Saturday we went to the Calgary Zoo so I could take some

photos. I will be posting various shots for the next week or

so.

“I come down to the water to cool my eyes.

But everywhere I look I see fire; that which isn't

flint is tinder, and the whole world sparks and flames.”

Midge, an old friend of yours.

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright

In the forests of the night,

What immortal hand or eye

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare he aspire?

What the hand dare seize the fire?
