Contented in the Bonnets

All that was needed was a half pint of Bluebell any flavor! For any non-Texans, Bluebell Ice Cream is "cream filled goodness" often the one singular thing missed by Texans who have left the state. This cow simply turned her head, looked at me, and in my head I heard her saying "Don't you wish you could be here right now?"

Giraffe at Fossil Rim

What a face! One has not lived until a giraffe slurps food out of one's hand. Baby giraffes were everywhere.

Zebra Family at Fossil Rim

Fossil Rim Wildlife area in Glen Rose, Texas is a nature lover's dream. This park is dedicated to preserving and nurturning animals from all parts of the world. They have a great gift shop and all proceeds to the preservation of this site. Wednesdays in the fall are the best time to go. Buy a bag or two of feed and watch out for the ostriches! They are serious about food! The zebras are agressive but beautiful.
