Hibiscus

Today we came across some of the largest Hibiscus plants we have ever seen.  My photo's really don't do the flowers justice.

Motherhood

I love this time of year at the Zoo.  Lots and Lots of babies.  One of my favorite birds is the Pink Flamingo.  There was only one baby but by the looks of all the nest setting the flamingos were doing I suspect there will be many more soon.
I noticed the poor baby was being bullied by some of the older birds.  The poor thing moved over to his mother and laid his head against her.
The following picture was taken with my Canon Power Shot SX50.  The only editing done was resizing the photo and putting my copyright on the photo.

Caiman Gator

Okay this is not my favorite animal but he is an interesting little guy.  Okay have no idea if its a he or a she.  It is always in the same place every time I visit the Zoo.  So if you really want to know more about this critter check out this page.
This was taken on my IPhone using Hipstamatic settings: Burke Lens/ Blanko Freedom13 Film.

Trip to the Zoo

Sometimes I get lucky and get a Sunday off.  I will usually head out to the Zoo or go hiking.  Last Sunday I headed out to the Tulsa Zoo.  It was hot outside so I didn't stay but a couple hours.  That's usually long enough to make it around most of the zoo.
There is one place I swear no matter what I always take a picture of.  Its this cement head outside one of the buildings.  I can't help it I love seeing the darn thing in the summer time when all the green vines are growing all over it.  I did take pictures of animals but this is my favorite.
