Friends Lovers take 2 and other fun stuff

 Here are a couple of friends, the one in the rear I heard saying; Hey! Wait for me
These two are head over heels in Love

Speaking of fun stuff, we went on a Safari not too long ago and found a guide named Capt_Jack
Come on along, said Capt. Jack, and he lead us on into the Jungle_Mists
It was a different kind of jungle, it had all kinds of critters all together, like Hoppy here
But Capt Jack was partial to birds, so first he showed us this strange Duck Then this duck that beat it's wings so fast it looked like it had No_Wings
Then we got introduced to Flam Ingo who was busy Preening itself. Just down the pond was this really red Red_Ibis
Keeping it's eye on things was a very Coy_Hawk
Some of the critters just weren't interested at all

We stopped for lunch along the way and Indy had a hot dog Mustard_face, honestly, she did get some in her mouth too.
Then she needed to get to the_water to clean up but it was just out of reach.

When we got back on the trail we walked quietly because we didn't want to wake up mr. Sloth
Some of the critters were still eating their Lunch. This thing that looks like a Panda bear was attached to it was just eating_ants
And some just wanted to Go_Home I wish that I could have helped it do that.
Others were still resting from their noon_meal So, all tuckered out ourselves we left for the long journey home Home  

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Thank you for your patience in viewing such a long story and thanks to the Dreyer Park Zoo at West Palm Beach, Florida. Sorry Andrea, the tigers didn't come out well at all and they were behind a chain link fence which I couldn't get close to so I didn't post any.

Taken with my old Sony H1. Not a bad camera, but it was only 5 megapixels and suffers from tight crops. I like the Canon much better for the high resolution.

    Noon meal is so sharp and home is a great close up flower. Mustard face is a doll. Glad you named the zoo. I know we never saw these in Brevard. Fun set.

    I really liked the first shot of the ducks, and you have very good composition in a lot of these shots. Yes, as you said, not bad for an old Sony camera. Keep shooting!

    - Flowers are happiness...
