Monster Cookies
Sorry for missing your weekly dose of deliciousness last week. I've been in the process of preparing data for migration to a new computer that I hope is ordered by the time this post is posted. That said, it may be a bit quiet for a little while until I have everything back to normal operation.
Until then, I hope these cookies from Hot Racks Bakery will keep you satisfied until I can resume the normal routine.

Saskatoon Forestry Farm and Zoo 2012 - 8
Not usually so easy to see or get a good photo of.
Early arrival times make for serene, empty paths like these. It was entirely peaceful at the zoo until about 10 am. As much as I like to start my visits in the flower gardens when the light is better and the air stiller, I may start the occasional visit in the zoo.
This photo was taken on the same visit as the one above. I decided to take the counterclockwise route which made for trees I'd never noticed before, angles on scenes I don't usually see. This also produced a chicken under a shrub.
As I rounded the corner I saw these two little ones. The instant they saw me they scurried under their mother's plumage. I had to switch lenses and waited patiently for them to come out, but aside from a little head poking up oh so briefly I couldn't get the closeup I'd hoped for. Cute, nonetheless.

Sorry for the lack of clarity in these nest three. Fences.
Definitely more meat on that bone than the ones we give Kiwi. But watching him chew was just like watching a larger version of our dog chewing.

I thought I had missed the season to most likely witness a peacock show off. I was wrong. Mid-July was the time I got this shot.
Amazing how quickly those tiny little goslings grow up. Nice that the parents are less protective by this point and a person can get a bit closer without being challenged.

You probably saw my synchronized swimming photo from a few weeks ago. It's hard to believe the Olympics are already over. Of course, the Paralympics have just begun. I only saw one race near the start of the games. I tried watching a bit more online but the feeds I watched on the net were either full of commercials, hiccup-y, blocked in Canada by the broadcaster, showing events from hours ago, conducting interviews full of ridiculous questions posed to athletes still catching their breath or not interested in it at the moment, or events overloaded with commentary at unnecessary times. I have nothing against the Olympics, but the broadcasters made it difficult to see what I wanted to see so my interest was pretty low this time around.
To resume the series from this year's visits to the zoo I have a few flowers. These are nothing special beyond getting the framing just right. I have a few more unique that I will share in the next little while. For now, please enjoy these huge peony blooms. I missed the pink ones from slightly earlier in the season. I noticed them as I was leaving one visit that happened to be just before our vacation. They were finished before my next visit.
The roses aren't as nice as most years, likely from the excess rain we have had, but this one was beautiful and only too about fifteen minutes of waiting until the sun moved to just the right spot to cast a ray through the leaves on the best bloom.

Some Dessert from Hot Racks
Nothing to say but delicious! I love making photos of their products, but the best part is when I know I have the shot it's time to dig in.
