A trip to the zoo…

September 2nd, 2007

Mike & I visited the Ft. Worth zoo last weekend. It was a hot day, but we had lots of fun. I took along my camera & took some fun shots. My favorite part was the area where you can actually feed the birds! You buy these little sesame seed coated sticks for a $1 and then they hop right on your stick & eat away. Here are some of my favorite pics of our visit… including everything from birds to lizards & zebras!

All of the birds had truly brilliant-colored feathers…

You would think they would get full based on the number of folks that were giving them treats… but they just kept coming back for more.

What fun! After we left the bird exhibit, we went throughout the park to see the rest of the animals.

This lion was roaring his best at the lioness next door…I wonder what they were saying to each other? I bet you could hear them for miles!

I’ve always loved the primates exhibits ever since I was a little girl. I could sit for hours watching them…perhaps because they have reflect so many human behaviors? They have dozens of different monkeys, orangutans, & gorillas at the Ft. Worth zoo. This silverback gorilla was checking us out.

And this lil’ fella, a meerkat, was busy digging holes and stopped for a moment to say hi…

Aren’t zebra’s beautiful creatures?!

And finally, when we went to the herpatorium, this lizard was posing just waiting for his picture to be taken!

After we left the zoo, we spent the night in Ft. Worth. The next morning, we went to see the Star Wars exhibit at the local science museum. Stay tuned for pics from the exhibit!

Your photos are really great. You could use some of these on greeting cards with funny captions. (The lizard with the wrinkles would be a good birthday card for my generation.)
