@JocAPhotography Cute pic. I love chipmunks so much! 🥰 I grew up with them in the Chicago suburbs and I’m sad we don’t have them in Dallas.

Watching this playful young chimpanzee swing around was absolutely a highlight of our visit to the Dallas Zoo on Thursday. 💚 Talk about spreading joy!

An almost full moon over Dallas last night, in the waxing gibbous phase.
The full moon 🌕 will be on Sunday night.

I like the color layers in this photo, but my dad pointed out that it’s the ozone and air pollution showing. 😬

@PabloJBarillas Yes! 🐍

Some animals inside the herpetarium (for reptiles and amphibians) spotted at the Dallas Zoo yesterday. This is my five-year-old son’s favorite place at the zoo. 💚

I enjoyed watching my friend and mentor, journalist Dianne Solis, in conversation with writer ✍️ Reyna Grande, author of “Migrant Heart,” at Arts & Letters Live at the Dallas Museum of Art last night. I also caught up with my writer friends Stella Chavez and Joanna Cattanach. ❤️
