Awareness of the outside world. Easter Monday at the zoo. A tradition that began with folks who had to work on Easter. Smithsonian National Zoo: Easter Monday.

Rodney has little white spots on his coat. I was this many years old when I learned these are called Birdcatcher spots. Equine Ink: The Mystery of Birdcatcher Spots: Fleeting Markings with a Storied Past.
