Albuquerque has a great zoo. Actually is part of a "BioPark" triptik of natural museums. Ann and I spent the morning at the Rio Grande Zoo and didn't even get to see the whole thing. Next time I'd like to try and take in the Aquarium and then the Gardens to make my visit complete. It was an extremely hot day and as you might imagine, many of the animals were laying low in the shade, but a few of them (ones with water features) were really enjoying their habitats...

| Its so hot... |
 |
| Do you have to lay so close? |
 |
| let me sleep, don't look at me |
 |
| maybe if I let my legs hang down I can catch a breeze |
 |
| cool water |
Some animals didn't seem to mind the heat, they just kept taking care of business...

| This guy was intent on making a good impression on the lady sitting in the shade |
 |
| He turned this way and than, he drummed his wings, he stamped his feet. No luck, she just signed and walked away. |

| enjoying beautiful alfalfa in the shade |
 |
| This gal was warning her brother to stay away from the pool |
 |
| Ahhhhh....the water all to myself |
 |
| who knows what he was thinking..... |
 |
| Like mother, |
 |
| like son |

Love in the pool |
I saw so many beautiful patterns in nature at the zoo.
Some of your best, best pictures are those "pattern" ones from the zoo. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteLove the patterns-amazing:-) When you actually look at nature outside of the "given name of object" things are quite fascinating-Cara
