Thursday Challenge: Winter

South Park and Eighth in the snow
Corner of South Park and Eighth Avenues in Highland Park after December 31, 2009 snowfall. I loved the bright green against the white and gray.

Thursday Challenge theme is WINTER (Ice, Icicles, Snow, Tobogganing, Skating, Frost, Winter Clothing,…). And next week is MESSY.

Cape May Zoo Hours

I’ve been wanting to post my photos from our trip to the Cape May County Zoo in southern New Jersey from last August. I hope you enjoy the tour.

zoo donations box
I think they painted a mailbox zebra colors and wrote “Zoo Donations.” The zoo is free, so donations are greatly appreciated.

guinea fowl
I don’t know what kind of bird this is, but it was wandering around, mingling with the zoo guests. Maybe a guinea fowl?

bald eagle
This is a bald eagle. It was hard to photograph him in his cage.

flamingos
The flamingos were fun to watch. See that gull who looks like he owns the place?

Here’s Mr. Gull again, resting with the flamingos.

animal at Cape May Zoo
I cannot remember the name of this animal, but it had tons of energy.

giraffe
Giraffes are beautiful animals.

leopard
Animals behind fences, like the leopard, were harder to photograph.

This zoo guest had a great time. Photos of family come out nicer when everyone is having fun.

NJPlaygrounds has more photos of the zoo and the nearby playground.

Thanks for coming with me to the zoo!

Red Rose Hip

Red Rose Hip
It’s been bleak here – lots of gray, and yesterday it rained all day. But at least the rose hips are bright red and cheery.
