Dante vs Goat

Dante made a visit to the petting zoo in Hayarkon Park at midnight. He met some interesting and odd creatures but in the end, his self preservation trumped his curiosity.

By the way..........WHAT is this thing?

Wherein Lola is Stalked by Bees

You can see by the sheer number of shots I was able to get that this was no coincidence. There were even several I did not include here. They hovered near me, just......watching. You can also see by the various positions of Dante in the background how long this went on.



I mean...imagine how still they had to hover for me to get this many shots of them. Do you know how fast bees usually move? I think you do.



It went on...fo-ev-uh.

Lola Loves Fonts

The wonders of product design. Does this look familiar?



It's amazing how they managed to make the D in "diet" look exactly the same in Hebrew, even though it's a completely different letter. Further, Hebrew is read right to left so the letter that looks like the D is actually the T. I will keep an eye out for other product design miracles.



In other news, the "pinat hei" (life corner) in the park has an odd assortment of animals. Deer, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, imus, geese, and some I don't even recognize. They all live together, with no walls between them. Eat together, play together, and cuddle each other. They seem pretty happy.

Poop Bag Artwork Tells All

And here begins my quirky outsider observations of Israel.



These boxes are all over the park. They hold poop bags, for dogs. The text says literally "Sacky-Cacky." Or as we like to say, pooper scooper. The best part, though, is the artwork. That really says it all.



And in other poopy news: the toilets. In an effort to save water, toilets are outfitted with two handles. The small one is for when you "make wee" as my mother-in-law says. The large one is for when you "make cacky."
