Now that you've found your paradise

A somewhat embarrassingly long time ago I visited the Bronx Zoo, and took pictures of the Bug Carousel which they erected in around 2005. I promised bunny_hugger to show it to her, at least in photograph form. I did't want her to think I'd forgot even if I haven't sent her pictures fast enough. Please, enjoy.

	Here, a woman at the Bronx Zoo just makes fun of a peacock, who maintains a relatively dignified reserve.
	The Bronx Zoo also hosts a fair number of black squirrels. This one made me think of bunny_hugger at the time; I've thought of her much more since.
	Here's the approach to the Bronx Zoo's Bug Carousel. It's not the glittering glass cage of Jane's Carousel, but it's pretty well-shaped to the carousel within.
	Here's the Bug Carousel from inside, with its prominent display of Zorak and a bee.
	And a reverse shot from about the same angle. I should probably mention my optimism about the shutter speed, but anyone looking at the picture figured it out anyway.
