MacAlpine's Soda Fountain
As a dozen of us met for a fine meetup at MacAlpine's Coffee Shoppe for dinner, at this moment I saw the light stream in and jumped up to go for it with my camera. It lasted only about 5 minutes, but the golden glow was just beautiful, especially to highlight the best of this marvelous soda fountain. Thankfully this former Rexall drug store was able to have the interior retained as the stores either side of it enveloped all 3 businesses into a place that now features antiques and collectibles. Be sure to see the other photos that my fellow flickrites have gotten from this outing. Each of us have some real beauties to share. And if you are ever in Phoenix, this is a wonderful place to visit. Thank you to the gracious staff members of MacAlpine's for making our visit joyful.
Poison dart frogs (or poison arrow frogs) are found in central and south america. Their venom is due to a distilation from the insects they eat in nature. Captive bred frogs are not poisonous.
The day we went to the Oregon Zoo, it happened to be enrichement day for the polar bears! They brought in a bunch of snow, and a huge "snack popsicle" for them. As you can tell by the photo, they loved it!! Here is a clip of Polar Bear Fun!. The Polar Bear handler says they roll around in the snow because they use it as a squeegie to squeegie the water out of their fur in the wild. This clip shows one of the polar bears trying to get at the goodies in the Polar Bear Popsicle.
