ABC Wednesday—Z is for "zebra"

No, I haven't been on safari (or even
to the zoo).  This is one of the wonderful
dioramas at The Museum of Natural History.
When I was a kid, I thought it was just
like being right there on the African plain.

  2. My great-great grandfather was an artist and he used to do, among other things, the backgrounds for panoramas in the Harrisburg, Pa. State Museum. --Have you read The Veldt by Ray Bradbury? He is my favorite writer... Now by email I'm sending you the story.

  4. I love dioramas. I can just feel the warmth of the sun on its ear flicking away flies.

    Dioramas are not always just of fauna and ancient societies. There is one I know of that represents humanity in the 22nd century (if we are not very, very careful. And when have we ever been?).
