The Bronze Gorilla

Flipping through my pictures I saw that I had several shots taken through the years at the same location - the bronze gorilla at the St. Louis Zoo.

St. Louisans love their zoo.  It's a great retreat on a hot gross day, an easy amusement for kids of any age, a great walk no matter your physical stamina, and best of all, it's FREE!  I'm all about family activities that are free, aren't you?

The bronze gorilla is a tribute to a long time zoo resident, a rather ancient silverback gorilla, who died many years ago.  It's located outside the monkey house and is the perfect size to prop the kids for a quick photo op.


Even the big kids like to pose in front of him


And this is by far my most favorite pose of all.... the nose picker
