What can I say?
Here I go again, apologizing for being so late with part 2 of our zoo adventure.
So lets head straight back to Lowry Park Zoo, shall we?
The sweet Kenya Impala
I could not get them to come closer or turn for me.
Much to my regret.
This camel give rides to the children.
We visited the this area late in the day. The shadows are telling aren't they?
By then, the children's field trips had left, so this camel was done for the day.
I did get this camel to give me a lovely smile.
Not sure if he was just happy not to have more riders or if he liked me taking his picture.
What do you think?
Grevy's Zebra
I am over the moon with my 55-300 Christmas gift from loving hubby.
Love the close up shots I can get now.
While I truly appreciated each animal for their uniqueness and God given purpose,
I feel in love with the gentle giraffes, shown next.
Meet "Rudolph". I think I mistakenly called him "Randolph" previously!
I loved feeding him so much, we went back a second time just before the park closed
to feed him some more.
Think he likes to lick hubby's fingers too!
Everyone plays nicely here.
Don't you agree?
Celebrating our wonderful day at the zoo with our favorite,
root beer floats.
(BTW there is a fan going inside the ice cream shop that is playing havoc with the
women's blouse)
I love retirement, spending my days with hubby, and root beer floats
to celebrate how blessed we truly are.
Always, always we thank the Lord for His mercy and blessings.
A splendid ending to a wonderful day,
root beer floats and watching and hearing the music from a carousel.
Yes, if it had not been just for children (or adults standing to hold a child), I would
have been on that after my float. Love carousels.
Oh gosh, I know this was long with many photos.
I will make up for it on Friday with a lovely, simple
"quiet inspiration" post.
I am off to a grandson's ball game, plus, I want to wish my other grandson
Georgie, Happy Five years old today!
See you Saturday for your party!
taken just two weeks ago at his sister's ball game.
Happy, Happy Birthday to you from Grammie and Grampa Terry.
If I did not get around to visiting before you read this post, I am late with some of you,
but will catch up.
I value each of you who takes the time to read my little blog and leave a comment,
either here or sending me emails.
From my heart to yours, may your day be blessed.

Beautiful pictures, as always!
Thank you for sharing. What kind of camera do you have..
clear, clear pics. beautiful!
You really got some great shots! The impala are so beautiful and graceful. But my favorite shot is the giraffe licking the pole - or at least that looks like what he is doing!
Thank you for your kind words that you leave on my blog! Have a great week!
Wonderful pictures! I especially love the giraffe with the two of you, and licking the post! Also that woman's blouse, glad you said it was the wind, because I couldn't figure out WHAT sh was wearing! In our safari park, they keep the giraffes penned up and away from all the other animals, I don't know why!
Oh how neat, Lynn... Love your hat and loved seeing your feed the giraffes....
I was wondering what kind of outfit that person had on in the Ice Cream shop!!!!! ha
Glad you had such a wonderful day.
Hugs,
Betsy
Lynn, great pictures. Love that Zebra. Blessings.
I just love those animals especially the giraffe, like you. He is just so sweet :) And your grandchild, he is adorable. You are lucky having your family around you. God is really good.You are soo good in taking pictures and seeing the funny side of everything. It shows that you are really a happy woman:)
Hi Lynn, I so love these pictures! I especially enjoyed the giraffe pics and the gazelle! Tony and I are hoping to go to the Jacksonville Zoo in June. It is a great zoo and the gardens are so beautiful too. You and Terry look so cute! Have a wonderful evening ahead and thanks for posting all the beautiful photos! With Love, Delisa :)
