The Phoenix Zoo

Spent a (hot) day out at the Phoenix Zoo checking out the animals. The Phoenix Zoo isn't half bad, with a pretty good selection of animals. Lots of walking though, and not nearly enough shade.

Here are a few of the friends I made today...

Is this image titled flaming01 because its short for flamingo, or because its pink?

You have to wonder how they don't get bored standing on one leg all day

He's checking out my camera

Yum! Yum! Yum!




Hide-n-Seek is difficult for giraffes

We have these things in my neighborhood. Love Halloween pumpkins...

Laughing Monkey greets you!




Nice paint job!

The only one smart enough to stay out of the sun

Time to get out of here! Summer in Arizona is NOT the time to be standing in the sun waiting for animals to pose.
