Philadelphia Zoo Carousel Reds
My daughter and her friend enjoyed their ride on the Philadelphia Zoo carousel last week.
I imagine this parrot is saying “Awk! I am a handsome dude, aren’t I? Awk!”
There is so much to see at the Philly Zoo that we only saw about half the place when we heard it was closing time. The girls really enjoyed the petting zoo and the big cats (pumas, leopards, lions).

Nice photos although I am not fond of zoos. I did visit the Philadelphia zoo many years ago when my kids were little. Going to the zoo with kids is OK because they enjoy it. I guess I"ll have to take my grandkids sometime.

I'm not really big on zoos, either, Risa, but my daughter *REALLY* wanted to go to the Philadelphia Zoo. I kind of like Philadelphia, as far as cities go. It's kind of artsy and has lots of history.

Carousels are so good looking, the classic details are such a treat for the eyes. We are used to seeing horses going around, but these parrots are wonderful, bold colors and the birds in flight are carved so beautifully. Nice capture of no doubt a wonderful zoo!

Great shots! You may not like zoos but you know how to photograph them.
Leora says
They do provide good subject matter. I got some nice shots of my daughter and her friend on a horse. And some animal and water photos I may share on the blog.

Wow, I love the vibrant colors! What are the birds made of?
:)
Leora says
'What are the birds made of?' - your guess is as good as mine. Some industrial strength plastic?

Hi Leora, so you are from Pennsylvania? I'm located at the northwest of it, near Allegheny forest. Beautiful Autumn here. That is a cute carving. I like birds!
Come & check me out with My Ruby Tuesday here

I'm from New Jersey - it's about an hour drive to eastern Pennsylvania, a little further to Philadelphia.
