Reba the Elephant's Shower at Winter in July at the Phoenix Zoo (Phoenix, Arizona) - July 14, 2018

            Pictures of the Winter in July event at the Phoenix Zoo.  This annual event includes snow trucked in for the event, a chilly 'blizzard' every 30 minutes, and snow themed events with the animals.  There were four different animal events that featured behavioral enrichment, a process of ensuring captive animals in zoos are treated for psychological and physiological well-being.  I will list all the events separately.  I learned on their site that they were looking for volunteers.  So I was on their website to learn about the event when I learned that they needed volunteers!  So I signed up as a photographer and snow shoveler.  I was part of a crew of volunteers who broke up the snow so the kids could play with it.  It has a hard ice crust the moment we arrived and had to continually work the snow to make it fun to play with.  Very glad to spend the day at the Zoo helping them pull off this event.  Here are pictures of the very popular elephant shower that is one of the highlights of this annual event (from what I understand).  Reba is an Asian Elephant who is around 45 years old.  She is sprayed with the fire hose.  When they were done, they showered the audience and my camera bag got soaked!  Oh well - all is fine.  Thanks to the Phoenix Fire Department for supplying the firehose!
