It's Monkey Monday (On Tuesday)

 

On this Monkey Monday, we're going to see the Holiday Lights at the Bronx Zoo

The Holiday Lights at the Bronx Zoo have long been on my list of things to do. But like so many things I just didn't get to it. The tickets seemed pricy, it wasn't a simple bus ride and none of my friends ever suggested it. Those are actually pretty flimsy reasons and now that I've typed them out, they're really not reasons at all. But since this is the moment when I'm looking to do things I've always wanted to do I made the effort to get to see the Lights. It was well worth it. 

Loved seeing the display of trees

Loved these parrots at the South America Illuminations,

and the sloth, pictured below

 

You may ask why this post is titled "Monkey Monday?" It's Monkey Monday because I made this trip with my beloved monkey friend, Pep. Pep was dressed up for the occasion with a cozy hoodie and his Snoopy pajamas. 

Pep had a tremendously good time seeing the lights and decorations

Though I hadn't really meant to, this officially launches holiday posting, 2026.  I'm hoping to start making visits to my favorite sights this weekend. My goal is to get to Fifth Avenue and start with Rockefeller Center. I know I'll be there with (tens of) thousands snapping pictures, but that's -- happily -- Christmas in New York.  

As ever, thanks for visiting and take good care.
