08-08-08!!!

today was such a lovely day. i met andre and we walked through the jardin des plantes. these above are my new favorite flowers: dahlias. 
some more pretty flowers.
andre walking through the rows of flowers. 
that is the natural history museum in the background.
les fleurs.
this is the biggest chunk of black quartz i have ever seen. 
or quartz of any other color for that matter...
within the garden there is a zoo! la menagerie du jardin des plantes. i love zoos!
this is my favorite orangutan! i think this one was theodora. she looked a bit bored and was staring out at all of us, but she decided to do some gymnastics to pass the time.
mama and bebe!!! how precious is that??? i used to get piggy-back rides when i was little too.
sweet.
beautiful creature. i like his coat too. i want one just like it... lol.
this is the poor iguana that looked like he was desperately trying to get out of the glass. sad.
andre checking out the bitty crocodiles. they didn't look very menacing...
this photo is not upside down.
these things looked like sloths to me, but they were called something else which i don't remember...
this is the mystic snake.
loooooooooooook in to my eyyyyyes.
he was pretty interesting.
cuuute!!! but also poisonous... dart frogs.
idk what kind of birds they were, but they gave me great color inspiration... 
i'm thinking chiffon... floor-length. lots of layers. what do you think?
the view from andre's mini balcony. i am quite jealous...
it is hard to tell, but you can see notre dame as well as sacre coeur away in the distance.
tres magnifique. and very relaxing just sitting there watching and listening.
i almost fell asleep right there.
so that is all for today. i am tired from our adventures and i must get my beauty sleep because
IT IS MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!!!
