The first shot is a reflection I caught at the zoo last spring when my son took me to one of my favorite places -- the zoo! If you look closely you may be able to see the rhino snoozing in the shade! What a great day it was!
This one is another one that I took last week at the bird sanctuary.
Such beautiful reflections!
ReplyDeleteLove the gorgeous photos below.
Enjoy your day Sylvia.

ReplyDeleteI saw the hip! I always have fun when I am at the Zoo.
ReplyDeleteGreat reflections at the bird sanctuary!
I love to see the animals but I dislike zoos so much. Great photos Sylvia. Have a great day.

Basically I feel the same way -- I don't like zoos -- but this zoo has made a real effort to create a natural habitat for the animals and you don't see them in cages. Even those are not necessarily desirable, but considering how many animals are endangered, it may be the only way of saving a great number of them. So, it is a beautiful place, the animals roam around very large enclosures surrounded by water and woodlands. You don't see cages, fences, wires, just a very lovely, serene place.
ReplyDeletenice pics! Do try your phone camera next time. I am curious as to how it compares to my friend Ted's iPhone pics.
ReplyDeleteReally love the zoo,and Chicago has a great one. Should make that a priority this summer.
ReplyDeleteI see the Hippo too, great pictures my friend!
These are beautiful photos. The reflection in the zoo picture is superb and the napping critters are a nice bonus. Thanks for sharing these with us.
ReplyDeletelove these imagesxxlynda
ReplyDeleteand another rhino or 2 in the distance!
ReplyDeleteOne argument for zoos, is that they help people to care about animals. This zoo space looks large and homey.
The second photo make me fell very peaceful!
hope you are having a wonderful weekend, Sylvia!
Sylvia -- a nice post and the comments were quite interesting as we are battling with our conscieinces lately about "how do we really feel about zoos with what we've learned lately." I assume that is the Seattle zoo you're picturing here and I agree with you that it is one of the good ones for the reasons you mention.
ReplyDeleteIs that the Woodland Park zoo? We went up there from Portland (on spring break) and really loved the setting!
ReplyDeleteMichael, yes, it is Woodland Park! Great place!
ReplyDeleteExcellent reflections my friend. I made the picture bigger and saw the rhinos. How cool. Love these my friend. Ya did great :) Have a good week ahead :)

ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful reflection shots, Sylvia. I saw the hippo and very nice when its enlarge. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteNice reflection shots. I must say that zoo is the one of the best places to appreciate nature and animals. I have been to Al Ain Zoo last week and it was fun.
