Good afternoon Nerdy Birdies!
How has your day been going so far?
Today I’ll be following up on my vlog post from yesterday with my favourite photos from my trip to Columbus Zoo & Aquarium on 12th March.
As a little bonus, I’ll also be including my little haul from the Book Loft of German Village, which I visited on Saturday, 11th March.
First thing is first though, and that’s the Snapshots.
All photos were taken with my iPhone 12 and edited using the VSCO app. Let’s jump right in!
These cuties are Sand Cats, this is the first time I’ve actually seen their faces in person (they’re usually facing away from the glass.) It’s so adorable seeing them cuddled together like my two kitties at home!
Here’s a Brown Bear enjoying a sit down; he even smiled at the camera for me!
Not the clearest photo thanks to the glass of the tank, but here are two Florida Manatees, named Stubby (bottom) and Squirrel (top) being adorable together.
The Columbus Zoo actually runs a rehabilitation program for Manatees, so most of the Manatees you see there will be returned to the wild once they are recovered. Stubby is a permanent resident though, and acts as something of a mother figure to the Manatees that come through.
A Green Tree Python all curled up on their branch. I just love the colours of their scales.
I got this close-up shot of a Grand Cayman Blue Iguana as he was chilling at the bottom of his tank. I love their faces, especially their eyes. I find reptile eyes to be some of the prettiest in the animal kingdom.
The last photo I’m going to share with you is this adorable fellow (I can’t remember what kind of lizard they are) taking a nap. I just adore how the branch they are resting on is supporting their body. It is just so cute!
And that is it for my Columbus Zoo Snapshots! If you’re interested in checking out the zoo for yourself, you can find their website here.
Moving on to the next little section, I’m going to share the little mini book haul that I got from my visit to the Book Loft of German Village while can also be found in Columbus, OH. It’s a really cool shop if you’re a big reader – they have something for everyone!
A couple of the book I picked up, I already covered in my weekly comic book haul post on Sunday, so I won’t be repeating them here.
With that being said, let’s start with the haul!
The first book that I picked up is a Batman self-help book! It’s nothing too detailed, just some advice you could take from the Dark Knight and how he handles certain situations. I thought it was cute, and would make a nice companion to my comic book collection.
The next book I got is this really cool general knowledge book. It covers a variety of subjects, from the rock cycle to some basic self-care recipes. I was immediately drawn in by the cover, and am very glad that I decided to pick it up.
With how much I love to visit Natural History Museums, I couldn’t resist this really cool book on Paleontology. It goes over how the science and techniques have changed over the years and has some awesome illustrations.
The last book that I picked up is this one. World War 2 is one of my special interests and I’m always interested to read through books that focus on the people who live through it. This has a lot of media and propaganda that circulated in various countries during World War 2, while also focusing on the different ways that different areas were affected by the conflict.
And that is it for my little book haul. If you’re interested in learning more about the Book Loft, and it’s 32 rooms full of books, you can find their website here.
That wrap’s up today’s post, I hope that you enjoyed it!
And until next time, stay nerdy my friends!
