October 5

 Sunday the marsh was full of strange creatures. It was the Belle Isle Harvest Festival. There was music from Supraphonic, a local blues band.

The Creature Teacher was there with some very interesting beasts.  A very cross-eyed opossum seemed a little uneasy in the crowd. I’ve  never seen a live one this close.

A South American Coatimundi was the real star. It is a very active and appealing kind of racoon.

The big uggh factor was supplied by this African Bull Frog. It was huge.

The tall ships always bring me back a hundred years with a glance but these two draft horses pulling a hay wagon have the same effect.

It was an enjoyable ride around the park.

It was a nice day seeing the kids enjoying themselves and meeting people. The park was full and everyone had a good time.

Ciao!
