My Day at the Zoo (Warning: Image heavy)
So, we took a few out-of-state relatives to visit the Zoo. I hadn't been in years, so I was more than happy to come along. I took my new digital camera on the off-chance that I would see something interesting.
Not once in the first two hours of wandering about the zoo did 'interesting' rear its head. However, right before stopping for a quick bite of a $4 hot dog, I caught sight of quite possibly the most majestic creature to inhabit the Zoo...

...The Mullet.
I couldn't help myself, I simply had to take a picture of the well-groomed mullet that I saw before me.
As I sat down, I chanced to catch a glimpse an even better one. Took me a bit to set up a good shot without him or his wife noticing, but my patience was rewarded:

As you probably can't make it out, the back of his shirt proudly dispalys several confederate flags, and the caption "THESE COLORS DON'T RUN. NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL." Mullet gold!
I would spend the rest of the day mullet-spotting. I had no idea one could find so many mullets roaming about in Asheboro, North Carolina, of all places!

Here, we have an adult mullet in its prime. note the long plumage, which attracts potential mates.

An up-close encounter with a Ponytailed Mullet. I'm still not sure how I got out of there alive.

This one is just beginning the developmental processes that will leave it with a long, healthy mullet.

Mullets: So Like Us

As you may notice, these Mullets display especially curly, voluminous plumage, which I believe may convey sataus and rank among the pack

An extremely rare shot of the legendary Loch Ness Mullet. I apologize for blurriness of the photo.

Another majestic, fully developed Adult mullet, and the best one I'd managed to photograph all day. At least, was the best, right up until I spied--

The mere sight of such a beautiful mullet left my jaw agape. I was in awe of the natural perfection I saw before me.
and, thus, I had to leave my Mullet friends. I don't think I'll ever forget them, however...
