Let's Play a Game

I thought I would do something a little different today. Let's play a little guessing game. I know several people check out my blog on a regular basis but many of you NEVER post a comment. This time I really need you to say something. As you know I went to the zoo this week and took pictures. I have posted 13 photos below. These are not exactly the normal photos you see when one goes to the zoo, however these are things you see while there. These photos are up close and personal. Now for the fun part. Each photo is labeled by the letters a thru m. Each label is posted under the photo. Take a look at each pic then post a message with what you think each photo is showing. You can just say a-xxxx, b-xxxx, c-xxxx, etc... I want to see if you know what you are looking at. Some of them are pretty obvious, well most of them actually, but there may be a few that you may not guess. I'll wait a while then post the answers. Come on people... I need everyone to start guessing and posting your answers! Please! Thanks!

Give a Hoot

For as long as I can remember I have wanted to see an owl out in the wild. To date I have only seen them in zoos. Yesterday was no exception. I had forgotten that the last exhibit in the zoo here is a Great Horned Owl. I spent a lot of time there trying to get a good picture of him. He was quite accomodating and posed for me. Perhaps one of these days I will be lucky enough to see one out in the wild but for now this guy will have to do.

Orangutan

I decided to take a little trip to the Greenville Zoo this morning for the sole purpose of doing some photography. I arrived to a parking lot full of cars and once inside I discovered that today must have been "Mom's and Strollers Day" because that was about all that was there... and there were a ton of them! I made my way thru the throngs and managed to get some good pictures. Below is a baby orangutan. He was in an area with his mom and dad and he put on a little show. He had a brown paper bag that he was playing with. He picked it up and was tumbling around with it. He fell off a little wall area and kept playing. Finally he decided it would be fun to hide under the bag. Absolutely adorable!

Rainbow

Last night just around dusk we had a knock on the door. One of our neighbors was standing there saying we should come outside to see something. There in the sky was a beautiful, vibrant rainbow. Of course I grabbed my camera and took pictures!

If you look closely you will notice double rainbows in this picture. The one to the right is not as bright.
