Nashville Zoo

I know it's hard to believe with all this freezing cold rain and gloom that it was beautiful and warm enough for a trip to the zoo in shorts just a few days ago. Which is exactly why I grabbed the kids and took a spontaneous trip to get in a good walk, and see the animals. ;-) ha

I tend to love the same few animals, as far as my photographing them goes. The kids, the cats, the meerkats, the flamingo's, and a monkey or two when I can get a good one of them.
The meerkats were so cute, they have some babies or maybe they are juveniles? They were spunky and fun to watch.



I think this is so cute the up and close view for the kids of the meerkats. 

Harrisen had to get on his knees to be the same height as Nevin and his friend. He has grown SO much this year it's mind boggling.



As you can see I'm loving the cats this day...


Only one of the Monkeys turned enough to see it's face. Such beautiful and comical creatures.

The Flamingo's were having a one on one tiff, which was fun to photograph and watch.

Which ended quitely in a stare down.



The petting zoo is always a hit, no matter what the age. Nevin was so tired we sat on the bench outside the area, and just observed the others.

Finally back past the meerkats for one last glimpse of their antics.

My favorite subject...

The monkeys that go home at closing time. ;-)

I know a bit typical, but hey it was fun, good for the body and mind to walk, get sun shine (we sorely are missing the sun today), and be close to the animals.
