The Big O!

The best word to describe Omaha is cute. It's not big, but it's far from little. It's clean, people are friendly and helpful, there's a lot of green space, some cool neighborhoods, and a world class zoo.

Wicked!

Like Buffalo, there are sculptures of Bison all over Omaha, but unlike Buffalo, Bison actually once lived in here.


There are reminders of Omaha's pioneer heritage around every corner- this was my favorite.


Blown glass sculpture at the Joslyn Art Museum.

My favorite tree.

I guess this is a bench- a bit frightening if you ask me.


At the zoo! Apparently lemurs look like they just fell out of a tree and died when they sleep.


The jellyfish exhibit... really cool.
