I told you that I had more!! :-)
As mentioned before, We took my neice E to the zoo with us....she just turned 12 this week...can you tell?

Such a beautiful girl

This Zebra was just hanging out

Spoonbill...they're just so cool!!

And the kids got to feed the Giraffes...this is my favorite photo...hahaha!
I think had Duke actually licked Alex, both of their expressions would be quite different! LOL

Ok, more photos of the giraffes...better photos than the one above :-) LOL


This is Duke. He's the Daddy giraffe to the little guy born a year or so ago...



A resting giraffe

And as promised, better photos of the kids feeding Duke



Some other gorgeous animals we encountered

I rarely get to see these wolves when we're at the zoo...they're always sleeping in the shadows.
Today, they were out enjoying the sunshine, and I was able to get this shot...I got others of the laying down wolf alone, but I love the bit of interaction here.
On a side note, I think the wolf laying down is blind. I got a shot of him/her looking at me, and both eyes are frosty and glassy looking. Makes me less sad that they're in the zoo.



Lemurs






Some friends from the Reptile Houses





A couple more shots of the kids...


I thought this series of photos was just amazing!!
What do you think?
Time for a snack??

Gulp...Yum....umm, uh, I mean, he went that way
