The kids and I got good use of our zoo membership in the last few weeks before the zoo closed for the colder months. Here are some of the views of birds’ eyes that I captured with my phone.
Victoria crowned pigeon.
A curious adolescent emu.
A bright-feathered budgie.
This week’s friday foto finder theme is “cute.” It cannot be denied that cuteness abounds in my photo library. I have ever so much cuteness to choose from, but are you really surprised that I thought of sharing photos of cute kids?
Kids at play.
A kid at rest.
A very stylish kid.
And it must be noted that young children cannot resist the charms of cute kids.
If you think you can handle more cute, or have some cute to share yourself, head on over to the fff blog.
This picture of an adolescent lion cub yawning cracks me up. And given how tired I am right now, and how cranky I realized the tiredness had made me, it seemed to fit the mood.
(Actually, I am generally quite happy tonight, bursts of crankiness aside. My mother has come out for a visit from California, and I am looking forward to her company. I am also very appreciative of the help she is planning to give me with some of the overwhelming home projects that are leading to my cranky tiredness.)
Whenever I’m feeling stuck in my life, I like to go to the zoo to remind myself that I am not actually trapped in a cage like those poor suckers.
This monkey has lost count of the number of days it’s been stuck in the cage.
A family of lemurs are plotting their escape, if only they can get their paws on the right tools.
A porcupine struggles to smell the sweet scent of freedom outside the cage.
Last week I posted photos of 3 animals looking at me sideways. This week, in deference to my feeling that I am hopelessly behind, I will share some photos of animals from behind.
Zebra butt.
Giraffe hindquarters.
Tapir, backside.
I wonder how many among you can say that, today, you expected to be mooned by a tapir. Anyone? I thought not.
(You’re welcome.)
For this week’s friday foto finder, we’re on the hunt for animals. My photo library is full of all sorts of animals: furry, feathery, scaly, slimy or otherwise. But here’s one animal photo I’ve been looking for an excuse to share. These two prairie dogs live in our local zoo.
This photo cracks me up, and it seems like it’s screaming for some sort of caption. Any suggestions?
To see what other animals people have captured, please pay a visit to the friday foto finder blog.
