We were in downtown Houston on a beautiful day. . . so what better way to spend an afternoon . . . the ZOO! These three turtles decided to take advantage of the gorgeous sunshine,too!
I realy like giraffes, because I have always been tall so I can relate to them! In the middle of the photo is a "teenager" giraffe. We think that this is the same giraffe that had just been born last time we were at the zoo (about 4 years ago).
Behind me in this photo on the far left is a very small giraffe. Do you see him? He is the newest edition to the giraffe families at the Houston Zoo!
Here is a cute little baby elephant. He seemed to be a little camera shy. . . This little guy was playing with a plastic feeding or watering bin on the back side of his cage. We could hear it clicking and banging against the back poles and wires of his cage.
Asian Bear
This little kitty (can't remember what type he is) blended in very well with his cage. He was playing with some of the vegetation and trying to take a nap. Finally, he came out in the open where we could see his beautiful markings.
Here's a black panther. He reminded us of our cats at home, because they like to lay on their back with their paws spread out. This handsome guy was taking a nap in this position!
Watch out Jason!! That water fountain could be dangerous!!
Good monkey impression, Honey!!
This monkey has a baby monkey clinging to her side. If you look really close on her left side you can see the shape of the babies leg wrapped around her middle.
I have always liked Flamingoes! They are so pretty! The colors of their feathers are so bright and tropical!

Wow, we were probably really close to the zoo and didn't even know it. That would have been a place to visit. Oh, well, next time for sure! Beautiful pictures, and happy anniversary.
