Zoo: An excellent place to study the habits of human beings.
Evan Esar
Some,
sitting with their mothers,
held safe
all wrapped up and fed
on the counter
of the
aquarium display,
unaware of their
luck....
And some,
separated at birth,
to live
alone,
in a small
watery enclosure
with fake trees,
artificial lights,
and
piped air...
A moment of
realization
as a vision
of mother
appears
fluid,
in his memory,
a gift
from the little one
watching from outside....

Beautiful reflections Sylvia!! Both the visual and the words! Thanks for your comments on my post.
I hope you will have a very nice week-end too!!!

The only thing better than zoo pics are zoo pics with reflections.
Lovely reflections. The duck is too funny :)
Have a delightful weekend.

It's a nice surprise to see so much green. :) I enjoyed each of the photos but the bottom one is my favorite.
Have a wonderful weekend!
I know what you men about grey skies! :) But sometimes that's when I find the best reflections, believe it or not. However, I DO have to convince myself to take my camera out on those days. LOL
I adore Michael Caine and his quote matches very well with your picture!
Have a nice week-end!
Watery reflections always go well with me - and this is no exception :-)
tres reussie j aime bcp lesfesses du canard ;O)
How nice and joyful ! love the little duck butt, lol !
I'm glad you have archives containing such wonderful pictures. The picture of the duck is priceless.
I'm enchanted by the green colour in your first picture, it's beautiful!

And the last one has so sweet reflections, very well done!

I just love the sentiment of the last photo, but they each stand on their own. Your prose and quotes are always so appropriate to the photos.
I love the duck, what a happy photo!!
Good ones, Sylvia! I especially howled with laughter on your last photo and quote about zoos being a great place to study human behavior! How true! Hope to see some of the magic in water this weekend snorkeling in Mother Nature's Fish Bowl.
Dear Sylvia. Thank´s for your kind comment. I really apologize that I have been absent when it comes to commenting. Right now I´m really busy so blogtime is very limited. Love your skywatch and this wonderful reflection post. Make me longing for the summer. Right now it´s a lot of snow here and -12 degrees Celsius. Please have a wonderful weekend.
wonderful reflections Silvia!
have a great weekend
cheers from Uruguay :)
I enjopyed the photos, the quotes and especially the bottoms up duck!
As soon as I saw the water first shot, I knew it was a zoo. Do they all buy their concrete from the same place? The otter looks like it's having a great time!
Wonderful photos, Kay...they made me smile on this dark Vancouver day! And I so identify with that duck...I seem constantly to be paddling madly despite my calm air...LOL!
Wonderful photos, really like the delicacy of the greens and the beautiful reflections in the water texture. Very good.
I found the one with the duck very amusing ! And the last one is very interesting, witg this child hands holding a piece of cake that the otter seems to be feed with... Lovely !
Hi Sylvia! The duck is a hoot and I just love the last one. Have a great weekend!
Love the landscape photo, and the reflection. Wonderful post!
Wonderful photos, Sylvia. The first one is my favorite.
Have a super weekend. Stay dry!
Delightful as usually:)
Have a great weekend my friend!
What beautiful reflection pictures Sylvia. Love all of them
Have a lovely weekend!
a funny thing with ducks, the only thing you see is their behind. :)
The first shot was very interesting.
Wishing you a warm and cosy weekend. :)
Love your reflection photos here, Sylvia. The first one is so inviting!
That duck has made my day! Thank you!

Wonderful post Sylvia!! That duck picture is priceless -- well, really they all are!

Beautiful pics, very nicely captured!!
Lovely saying, the first one...
Very lovely photos, Sylvia. Have a terrific weekend! Can you believe how quickly the week sped by?
Love the duck shot, and the quote fits me perfectly as well!
Wonderful reflections! I, too, have qualms about wild animals kept in artificial surroundings. Different, I suppose, if they're bred and raised in captivity.
How nice ! have a nice weekend and thanks so much for your comments !
A lovely trio of photographs, great reflections. I also enjoyed the new header your friend painted. So festive!
What peaceful pictures!
I love the one of the duck!
Best regards
I love the duck...that made me laugh!
All lovely Sylvia! I especially like the clarity of the reflection in the first one - excellent capture!
The little upside down duckie put a smile on my face.
Beautiful reflection shots. I love the duck the most. Have a great weekend.
Superbes photos, j'aime beaucoup la loutre.
Love the otter shot and the quote below! :-)
