Travel theme: Smooth

 

Smooth bronze turtle -- Knoxville ZooEven bronze turtles have a textured shell with bumps and ridges and squarish shapes.  Just like real turtles do. But if you’re a tortoise at the Knoxville Zoo where kids one right after another take turns riding you and posing for pictures and patting you good-bye, you’re not patterned at all.   You’re smooth.  Patternless, as it were. Yep.  Smooth and loved.

For more smooth photos, check out Ailsa’s blog Where’s My Backpack for her Travel theme: Smooth.  Right here.

To see this smooth tortoise, head to the Knoxville Zoo, 3500 Knoxville Zoo Drive, Knoxville, TN 37914; http://www.knoxville-zoo.org/

      There’s also a lion statue in the zoo that kids ride on. Same thing. Head and mane and back almost rubbed smooth. Love it!

      Thanks, Cindy. There were a couple of animals rubbed smooth by the kids over the years — it’s fun to see this because I know they love the animals they can sit on best!

It makes our day to hear from you.
