I was planning to head to the Denver Zoo - the entrance of which can be seen in the photograph above - this past Tuesday to take a few photographs for my blog. The last I heard, the zoo was still open to the public if you made an advance reservation, but they later decided to close because of the coronavirus. I had to settle for a walk in Washington Park, which seems to be growing increasingly popular as virtually everything else in town closes down. Ironically, that night on the local television newscast, it was reported that Denver's Downtown Aquarium was still open, and reporters wanted to know why. Did aquarium officials feel it was an essential operation in Colorado, serving a desperate public that lives a thousand miles from the sea? Not surprisingly, the very next day the Downtown Aquarium closed down. Bummer.
