Golden Pheasant

This year would be more interesting as we bought an annual membership in the Nashville Zoo. Little Travelentz loves animals and she's been bugging us to go in the zoo when we stayed at home. Well, we could not blame her,the weather starting to warm-up and we gotta go where ever our feet brings us. We don't need any fancy nor to pay more bucks just to enjoy the weather.

Some of the photos I took when we visited last Sunday were the Golden Pheasant, I think it is new,I did not remember they have it last couple of years.
