Letter "R" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 12 and Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures

This Week's Prompts Starts with "R." A Favorite. Tom's request, "R"epeat. and For James, Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures 
 _ _ _ _ 
 



Starts with "R":  "Return" starts with "R".  Giant Panda Bears will return to a U.S. zoo this summer.

"Yun Chuan is almost 5 years old and is the grandson of Bai Yun, who lived at the San Diego Zoo for 23 years, the zoo said in a news release. His name is a combination of his grandmother's and the province where he came from, Chuan. 

Xin Bao is almost four years old and, like Yun Chuan, was born at China's Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base. The name Xin Bao means "new treasure of prosperity and abundance," and the zoo describes her as "a gentle and witty introvert with a sweet round face and big ears." 
They will be coming in mid-summer to the San Diego Zoo on loan, as they all we had that we had sent back to China.

Starts with "R":   Revolve and Revolving start with "R".  I know Walmart does not have Revolving doors, theirs are Automatic.  Target has Revolving doors.

A Favorite:    A few years ago Mrs. Jim and I drove down to the 445-acre (1.80 km²) Herman Park (link 01)(link 02).

Everyone was proud of the new Railroad installation, the Herman Park Train. We hadn't ridden this one but sure did ride the other one, a lot. Kids and grandkids all liked it when they were young. Mrs. Jim and BP rode that old one just once.



Tom's request, "Repeat":   This single picture comic strip Repeatedly comes up with something funny but this one is in poor taste besides being ridiculous. 



For James, Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures:  Not sure where we were, seems very familiar as we walked the arc street above.

Comments:
Your post reminded me that I should revisit San Diego Zoo. It's only a 2 hour drive but last time I was there Bai Yun was a newbie.
 
...having the Giant Panda RETURN is a positive thing during these crazy political times.
...our Target doesn't have REVOLVING doors, in this area there are a thing of the past.
...that RAILROAD is fabulous.
Thanks Jim for stopping by. Take care and be well.
 
Very nice mini train.
 
I love pandas!
