A couple weeks ago, I was able to catch a glimpse of one of the last penguin walks of the season. The King penguins at the zoo actually come out and “march” for spectators if they are feeling up to it: the temperature must be perfect, not too hot and not too cold. If you go to the zoo during Youth Week, you can claim a special 2 for 1 admission deal by emailing youthweek@youthcentral.com!
Check out some of the shots I got:
One of the King penguins in the lead, during their customary walk

I wish I could say that my name is Cordelia or that I can recite "The Highwayman" from memory or even that I live on Prince Edward Island. While these facts are unfortunately untrue, you can probably tell by now that I am a die-hard Anne of Green Gables fan! My name is Sarena Dharshi and I can say that one of my favourite poems is Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott" and I have indeed visited Charlottetown, P.E.I. Some other fun facts about me: I attend Western Canada High School, my favourite colour is turquoise and I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I love writing and performing spoken word poetry and I am also a blogger for The Huffington Post.
