Show and Tell- Our day at the Zoo

We finally made it to the Zoo today, YAY! We had a great day out it was lots of fun. The weather started fairly miserably and we got caught in the rain, but it cleared to be a beautiful day. The animals are amazing , there are so many that I could have easily taken home, hey our back yard is big enough! Max did ok with all the walking post Chemo better than me on some of the hills ! We were like big kids running on excitement and then got home totally exhausted.


Show and Tell is a good excuse to show some photos of the beautiful animals we saw today.

This is my good side!


Who let the goats out ? Check out that view!

The beautiful city.

The giraffes view isn't too bad either.

Watch ya back !

Who are you calling slow ?

So what is over the fence ?

And the Wallabies showed us how it is done. She looks really interested heh ?

Swim anyone ?

And then it rained.....

but when the sun came out they all came out to play.

I'm hungry ok !

Yes there is glass between me and the camera.

Just hiding...

So you wanna look up my nostril ?

I am the King and don't I have beautiful eyes ?

I hope you enjoyed your visit to the Zoo, now go and visit some of the other Show and Tells.

Great photos Vee! I want to go soon too. Love that lion enclosure, you can get so close! Glad you had a nice time.

Good god woman, you always put up such great shots - I don't know which one's my favorite? I lean toward the giraffe butt just cuz I love giraffes and it's a butt, so that's fun, but I think the nostril one is a cool angle. Hard to decide...

Your city has a terrific zoo!

Glad your trip to the zoo was a sweet one.

Sam said...

Wow great photos - I particularly like the ones of the city but only cos they remind me of my trip to Australia back in March!! I still can't believe that I have actually been to Sydney - I will have to have another trip just to reasure myself that I actually went!!

Those are great photos! What a picturesque backdrop for the zoo as well!

I have almost the exact same shot of the giraffes that I took on our honeymoon over FIFTEEN years ago. :-)
Beautiful photos!

Beautiful photos! Thanks for posting those - makes me want to visit Sydney again, too. We were there for a few weeks over Christmas a few years ago and it was fantastic!

Sounds like it was a wonderful day with Max - I'm so glad you both had a good time. Nothing like indulging that child-like wonder, eh?

Ah!!! such amazing shots. I feel as though I've been there with you at the zoo, too. Thanks for sharing such an amazing visit. So glad you and Max could share such a wonderful day together.

Found you through 'Show and Tell Sunday'. Great shots. I wish our zoo had a scenic view like yours! I would visit it every week. Thanks for sharing.

Wow!! Your pictures are awesome!! And after the sun came out . . . just beautiful!!

I love your scenery. One of the bad things about living somewhere where it it so flat - you just can't see anything.

I'm so jealous. Do you know how long it takes me to take that many decent photos? I'm lucky to get one in a whole day. Also, animals. You just seem to be able to make a good pic out of any situation!

Those Wallabees are hilarious.

I love Taronga Zoo and your pics are amazing!

Fun zoo pics! I especially like the ones with the city skyline behind. I have an old one of our zoo with the city in the background, except it isn't an animal's pen but rather the prehistoric park filled with dinosaurs!
