The old Buenos Aires city zoo was closed a couple of years ago. I think it was mainly because it was outdated and the conditions were not best for the animals. The good news is that over quite a number of months, they have made a lot of changes, and the grounds have once again opened, this time as an ecology park called Eco Parque.

I went there recently with Venetia and Sally. It’s a wonderful space for both flora and fauna, and we had a great day for it. We are into fall now, but the weather is still more like late summer, with temperatures in the mid-twenties and lots of sunshine.

I took my sketching things with me, but I had a commitment afterwards and didn’t have time to stop. I did, however, resolve to go back there soon to sketch.

Meantime, here are some photos I took.
