Time and Money Well Spent

Hmm......

Let’s see ~ spending time or spending money.

Time is pretty finite ~ one second, minute, hour... at a time

But then I guess so is money ~ one cent, nickel, dime.... at a time.

Too philosophical for a sunny Sunday so....

wandering seemed like the thing to do.

Direction?

Downtown

Why?

Because there might be something going on.

As the crow flies, it would have been shorter but walking city streets needed some creative wandering ~ a right turn, then a left turn, up one street, then another. Watching for bees, flowers and birds ~ oh ~ and cars when I crossed streets.

Ten years in Victoria and I’ve not seen a lot of sights, so

today there was a first - the Victoria Bug Zoo.

Money changed hands to support this funny little ‘zoo’

with guides that took us through the lives and habits of them all.

Scorpions, ants, and cockroaches

Tarantulas, beetles and walking sticks

Millipedes, spiders and cicadas

We could really learn a lot about recycling from these little guys.

A very precious little girl held her little hands out to hold each one ~ except for Jane, the tarantula and Louise, the scorpion. Only those of us 19 and over could hold them! She was so very disappointed ~ but patient with the adults who were so squeamish!

Then lunch, home, and playing in my yard.

All in all my time and money was very well spent.

our fingers and pretend they were diamond rings.”
