I recently went to a local zoo, Animal Adventure. It looks great for kids – they are allowed to interact with and feed many of the creatures.
I took my scooter there, for a solo ride of 50 miles! So much fun! Some of these sketches were done from my photos, as the animals were not kind enough to pose for me!
And oh, I’m not naming them because I forgot to keep track of that!

Since many have asked, I’ve decided to order multiple copies of these items, and have opened shop on Etsy. www.etsy.com/shop/artbybernadette
UPDATE Sept. 26, 2013: I’m happy to say the bags are nearly gone (only 2 left to sell!) and the calendars are down to 10.
I took my new scooter to work on Wednesday, and got a lot of comments.
“You just rose to the best vehicle in the parking lot.”
“After seeing you on that, I think of you in a whole new way.” (Not sure if that’s a good thing, hehe.)
So I stopped at Zona’s in downtown Binghamton after work, they had a “Yappy Hour” to benefit the Humane Society, and got a few more:
“I LOVE YOUR SCOOTER!!” (Shouted by a young lady walking down the street.)
Even later, when it was settled comfortably into its temporary foster home, a guy from up the
street came down to ask about it.
My conclusion- Binghamton must be ‘scooter-starved’!!
Adopted by a dear friend, Treena and I hung out for a week while her owners got married. Treena is very sweet, in spite of the fact that she likes to eat. Everything!
