Time to show and share your world again. That's My World is graciously hosted every Tuesday by Klaus, Sandy, Ivar, Wren, Fishing Guy and Louise. To sign up and share your world with us click here.
Since Sunday was Mother's Day and my son knows how much I love zoos and animals, he handed me the camera and told me we were going to the Woodland Park Zoo for a day with the animals. It's a lovely zoo in a very heavily wooded area that is as close to a natural habitat as you can have for animals in the middle of a large city. They sponser more than three dozen field conservation projects around the world, helping everything from butterflies to elephants. Remember to click on any of the photos to enlarge and get a better look.
They have numerous programs designed to help acquaint and educate the public. Programs such as Giraffe and Elephant Feeding, African Village Storytelling, Raptor Flight Programs, Upapi! (African Beading) and general information programs called Keeper Talk. There is also a variety of summer events.
Adam and I had a grand morning there and I wanted to share the fun with you today!
It really feels like a kind of natural habitat as you don't see any cages, there are lots of trees, watering spots, open fields for the animals to enjoy as well as the two-legged visitors.
A great Mother's Day and lovely part of My World!

What a wonderful day at a wonderful zoo. You got some great photos; I especially liked your shots of mama Lion and of the Flamingos. I don't think I have ever seen Otters stand before. You had a great escort in your attractive son. You both radiate happiness.
Hi Sylvia,
Nice to see your mom and I like zoo's because animals are also my beloved friends, thanks.
Come see my blog:) JoAnn
Looks like you had a lovely day!
Wonderful shots. What a great trip. Happy Mother's Day!
Thank you for sharing. I haven't been to Woodland Park Zoo in many years. I was once a volunteer with the raptor flight program.
What a grand way to spend Mothers Day.
We just love Woodland Park but haven't been in a few years. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
What a fun trip to make on mother's day. I love all the shots and the last one is great. Sounds like a fabulous zoo.
What fun! The natural habitats are so much nicer for the animals forced to live out their lives in captivity. Infinity better than cages!
I'm sure it was a great Mothers Day, and it's a lovely zoo. so glad you enjoyed yourself so much with your son.
Hallo Sylvia, thank you for your visit! I loved your zoo pictures of Woodland Park very much and I can see how you enjoyed your Mother's Day! Have a great week!
Lovely day! beautiful photos.
Thanks for sharing.

Lot's of people at the zoo this week. I love all the pink flamingo's. The only kind we get in my part of the world are the plastic lawn ornaments.
Sylvia: How nice of your son to share the day and nature with you. What neat animals you were able to capture.
My kind of zoo and you have a very sweet son! I'm glad you enjoyed your day.
Pink Flamingos are so cool. Happy Mother´s Day!
Oh, look at that duck with the flamingos... either seeking a new crowd to hang with or very confused!
That looks like a very nice zoo!
What a lovely way to spend your day! Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.
Hugs and blessings,
It looks like you had a wonderful day. I was at that zoo with my grandchildren once. Their parents went to college in Kirkland. I remember that it was a beautiful place. It was winter when we visited so it looked a little different that your beautiful pictures.
A belated Happy Mother's Day Sylvia. The last pic is the one I liked best!
