More Zoo Animals

Toronto, Ontario

Welcome back!

This week I have a variety of different critters from the Toronto Zoo.

First up, is the Grevy's Zebra. I highlighted him a bit last week, but he was kind of hidden behind trees, etc...so here's his whole body! :-)

Next three pics are of the African Lion...just lazying about on a sunny day! I can't blame him!

Next pic is that of the African Penguins. They were not on display, but I got this pic of them being rounded up for something in the back of their enclosure...They are still so cute!

Next two pics are of the Scarlet Ibis...such a pretty bird! I love his long beak too!

Last pic is of a Blue-crowned Motmot...Another very colourful bird.

Well, that is all for this week! Come back next week for some more animals from the zoo!

Have a great week!

More Penguins!

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting the last of the penguin photos. Sorry there are so many (11), but there weren't really enough for 2 posts... These guys are so comical to watch...some of them were pretty active by the time we were done shooting them!

I think next time I'll show some other birds we found along the African Savanna or maybe the polar bears!

Well, I can't believe it is Friday already! The week went by so fast...We had fun at my Sister's house for Halloween. We gave out treats at her house as we never get any out here in the boonies!

Brooke is coming home this weekend (tomorrow on the train)! She has her school graduation ceremony. Kind of a silly time to have it, but oh well, what can you do? So we will be going to that tomorrow and then I'll visit my Uncle on Sunday.

Have a great weekend!

African Penguins

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting some African Penguin shots. These cuties are found in the African Savanna at the Toronto Zoo and are in the same enclosure as the Pelicans, which I highlighted last time and which I'll highlight again next week!

Well, this week has gone by surprisingly fast. I babysat my neice, Jaeden for a couple of days and she certainly kept me busy. I also had to move my Uncle to a nursing home in the county--I think he likes it so far, I just wish it wasn't so far away! :-(   I also managed to catch another stupid cold, but this one wasn't as bad--thank goodness!

No plans for the weekend, other than a visit to my Uncle, maybe a movie and some SLEEP (wishful thinking!).

Have a great weekend!

The Last of the Penguins....

Here are the last of the good Penguin shots that I took at the Toronto Zoo a month or so ago...I'm sure you are ready for a change, so next time I'll have some big cat pictures, or maybe elephants!

Have a great week!

Penguins Part 2

Hello Everyone!

Hope everyone had a great week! This week I'm adding MORE penguin shots...They are just too darn cute--and I took so darn many shots of them! :-)

This week, the shots include a couple of them walking to get into the water..hard to show how cute they walk, but nevertheless, I hope you like them. The rest are shots of them swimming with a couple of head shots.

Enjoy!



Prepare to say "Ahhh"!!!

I was so excited to shoot these little guys at the Zoo. They are African Penguins. There are 12 of them, but I think I only shot 9 of them. They were so cute, waddling around, swimming, etc. You could also watch them underwater, but I didn't get any good shots through the plexiglass and water, so here is what I managed to capture!

1st pic-standing around

2nd pic-calling for his mate

3rd pic-headshot

4th pic-one swimming in the water

5th pic-a group of them hanging on their "beach"

Hope you enjoyed them..I do have even MORE shots for you next time! I narrowed down my 100+ shots of them to about 15! :-)

Thanks for visiting today!
