I took a slow
and careful walk around parts of the Zoo this morning. It was a
gorgeous, very sunny day. The animals were enjoying the sun and
many were a bit preoccupied, waiting for meals. After a while, the
crowds poured in so I left. Here are some pictures.

It's
difficult to get a good picture of the lemurs now that the leaves
are on the trees, and especially difficult in the bright sunlight.
This one was kind enough to sit still for a moment. |
|
Then
he flopped back as if to say "Waitress, where's my martini?" |
|
These
two gorillas were a riot! They were play-fighting, just like kids.
The bigger one looked more ferocious but he wasn't - he was putting
his heart and soul (and teeth) into the performance. |
|
"Hmmm,"
he seems to say as he gets the upper hand. "What's next?" |
|
"I'll
show YOU, you little pest. Get ready for an airplane ride!" |
|
"Okay,
okay! I say UNCLE!" moans the little guy with a twinkle in
his eye. |
|
Meanwhile,
back in the other gorilla compound, old Vip looks very thoughtful. |
|
"Check
out THIS muscle, kids!" he says as he flexes and displays. |
