That is so sad Mary! Wish you could let them out!!! Love the frost on those trees. Could spring be on the way?
Looks like this could be the start of a very thoughtful series. #2559950

Thank you Kate, for your kind and thoughtful comments. What would I do with this if it were a series? I love series, but I'm not sure where to go with it. #2561510

Thank you for sharing these wonderful images with us Mary, it is so sad to see wild beasts held in captivity. #2562635

I was thinking that because you said IN THIS CASE the before was better than the after that you would do ANOTHER CASE where the before was worse than the after.
Guess I was wrong then! #2562663

Thank you John and Kate for your kind and thoughtful comments!!

Normally, When we show before and afters, the AFTER is the one we worked on and are submitting and the before is not as good. I was using it in a different way than normal.

But actulally there are cases where the AFTER is better--in this case, the after would be better for the deer if they were released back onto the island.

Bt there are certainly animals coming back from near extinction or from ad situations.

In Detroit, things seem to be going steadily downhill. They closed the aquarium and are threatening to close the zoo and possibly the conservatory. What will be left? Aieee!

Maybe the series would inlude some of each--the fish at the aquarium and the drained pools, the Lions on their perches on the hillside and the empty parking lot.

I do like series, I just need a way to embrace them and understand them!!!
