Wolves Day 1

I LOVE wolves!  I was able to watch this pack of wolves at Washington Park Zoo in Michigan City!  So in honor of these awesome creatures, this week will be all wolves!  Enjoy!!  :)

All by Herself

I don't think I will ever get used to seeing Ina all by herself without Bill.  However, I have to say that she is looking very regal and beautiful!  :)  Happy Caturday!  :)

Big and Small Birds

This little bird was being camera shy and tried to hide behind a stick so I couldn't see him.  :)  I know I said the other day that I generally don't like big birds, but I love seeing this black crane!  When the light catches his feathers, then you see a rainbow of colors!!  So pretty!  :)

Monkeys

I like this set of photographs because it shows monkeys being monkeys, but not in the way that we normally think of.  I don't know if it was the heat or what, but these monkeys were content to just sit around.  :)

Bat-Eared Fox

I love the Bat-Eared foxes at the zoo!  They are so cute and their ears are so big!  Normally when I see them, they are sleeping.  This time I saw this guy wandering around as if he were looking for a snack.  :)

Big Birds

I generally don't really like birds that are big.  Sometimes they are pretty, but in the case of this ostrich, I tend not to look twice.  There is something about them that kinda creeps me out.  But every once in a while, my curiosity and love for animals takes over and I find myself observing this weird bird.   :)

Swamp Monkeys

This little swamp monkey isn't very little anymore!  He has grown so much!  I love how playful he still is!  I really enjoy watching him run around and tackle the other monkeys.  :)  I also enjoyed watching him as he sat there by himself to play with something that was on his hand.  :)

Missing Bill

I don't think I said anything at the time, but Bill, the big, beautiful lion passed away earlier this year from cancer.  :(  These are pictures from last year of Bill and Ina together.  They were often seen sun bathing next to each other.  I miss seeing Bill there, and I am sure Ina misses him a lot too.  :(

This is a more recent picture of Ina by herself.  :(

Baby Giraffe Kisses

I am clearly on a giraffe kick this week!  Haha!  I really liked watching this little baby try to reach his mamma for kisses!  :)

Monkeys

I enjoy seeing the variety of monkeys that the zoo has!  They are all entertaining to watch!  I especially like the little Colobus Monkey.  He's grown a lot since I first saw him last year!  He looks like a miniature adult now.  :)
