Trip to the Zoo

A recent plan to go to the zoo on a Monday was delayed by heavy rain in the morning. But, one day later the weather was dry enough to head out to see the flamingos again.

It was a very windy day, as you can see here.

The koalas were predictably sleepy.


Taking photos of the real penguins was too difficult. Craig was happy to pose with a concrete replica outside the Penguin House.


This was the beaver enclosure! No beavers in sight but this large unidentified water bird was having a fine time.


The elephants were exactly where they were supposed to be.


Graham wasn't too sure what to make of it all at times.


The zebra enclosure is quite large and the animals were not interested in the people passing by, making it difficult to get zebras into the photo.


On the way out, a brief stop was made at the panda enclosure. The pandas were asleep. So Craig posed with a concrete replica. He doesn't like looking at the camera.


Later, a cheap dinner was had at home, after which, Craig had an excellent dessert of fruit and ice cream! Once upon a time Craig didn't like any cold foods but he's become a bit of an ice cream monster now.
