Today, while Spencer attended the Atlanta Zoo's Homeschool Academy and learned about various species of marsupials, Denver and I wandered through the zoo in freezing weather. We had hours to pass, and most of the animals were off exhibit.

Luckily, we found our way to the new amphibian and reptile house. I didn't know how long it would last. Denver is not known for patience. The first animal of great interest was a big, green chameleon. Look at it's eyes! Watch the way it turns its feet and grips the branches! Let's take a picture!

He spent the next hour and a half taking photographs and we talked about each animal. Denver was delighted with the challenge of getting good angles and clear pictures. He wanted to talk about the details of each species-- where they lived, what they ate, which were venomous, and which were endangered.
