More Phoenix Zoo

 

Random thoughts:

1. Why would I take a picture of zebra butts? Cause I wanted to.
2.  That's a nasty meal the hyena is munching on.
3.  Why are the flamingos so pale? Shouldn't they be more pink?
4.  See how happy my family looks? We never get a family pic where someone doesn't look completely miserable!
5.  Tater loved the zoo so much, she slept through the entire visit! Doesn't she know that these are BIG moment...first trip to the zoo...first toucan outfit...first time watching Grandma (me) turn tomato red because she is about to pass out from the heat...
6.  See all those animals looking at the camera? They are all hoping that I will set them free. So they can migrate to Alaska. Where it's not so hot! And I may join them!

Hankering for more pics? There's an entire post on giraffes. Yep. I'm loving giraffes right now. Just click here.  Come on...you know you want to!

Reticulated

Seriously! This last photo cracks me up. The way Ms. Giraffe is checking us out!

It seems like whenever we go to a zoo, I tend to obsess over one animal. And it's a different animal each time. I like to spread the love around!

So this time, I was a bit in awe of the beauty of the giraffes. Their reticulated hides, their dreamy eyelashes, their funny faces, those crazy, long tongues.....

More zoo photos to share next week. Because there were a few other animals there that day!

And yes, it was hotter than hell. But we're crazy like that.

50 Shades of Dirt...aka Phoenix in the Summer

 

Right about this time of year, smack dab in the middle of summer, I really begin to dislike where I live. Let's face it. Summer is the desert means dirt. Lots of it. And not much else.

But that's not really true. There is beauty even here. If you look really, really close. Before you pass out from heat stroke.

I Spy...Spring

 

Looking like Spring in this part of the world. Don't be hatin' on me. You'll be laughing at us in July!

Photos from the Phoenix Zoo from last week.

Hope you have a beautiful, sunny Monday.
