This is back at the zoo again, in the rain forest part. I like to come here as well when I want to escape the world for a while as its really quite quiet except for some running water under the little bridge in there.
This is where I would want to be if I was there during the winter too. You are fortunate to have such a place nearby and your composition makes it look quite appealing. I have a staghorn fern about the size of the ones in the background hanging in my yard. I hang a light bulb under it when it is going to be below 40F at night to keep it safe from frost.
