The Zoo

Last Updated: 10-23-2007

This page was created to showcase all the critters and plants we find while we are here. 'Here' is our place 200 Squirrel Street Beech Grove, Jabez, Ky across from the Alligator II Marina on Lake Cumberland. Where I know what they are called, I will tell you. Where I don't, maybe you can tell me? Enjoy and please remember, I am NOT a professional photographer!
