On My Mind: Zoo Pictures, Including LEMURS!!! (4)

As promised... zoo pictures!  I suppose I don't need to say too much about them... These were all taken at my zoo, The Toledo Zoo. I've gone there for years upon years, so I've seen most of these lovely animals since I was a youngster. And now they've got my favorite animal in the world--LEMURS--so I had to get a membership and plan on going there a few times just to watch them later this year. ^_^

Without further adieu... the pictures... ENJOY!

LEMURS!!!

Mom with baby!

This is the daddy, he came up to the window to say hi to us.

This picture won the prize for the day--the babies were running around like crazy.

Looking right at me.

Family :)

The baby just looks SO CUTE!!!

OTHER ANIMALS

Two baby tigers that are almost adult size, the one was cleaning the other, so cute!

One of the nicer close-ups I got of the penguins.

I think they were anticipating food, or staying cool in their cave.

I think this was the baby we saw last year, he's grown SO MUCH!

New baby with mom. CUTIE!

Giraffe--my mom told me back in the day you could actually touch them!

His tongue is sticking out. :P

Couldn't get a good shot of the Cheetah, but check out the chipmunk stuffing his cheeks!

Epic duck shot.

FLOWERS

~There's a whole section of just flowers and I couldn't help but take a few shots.~

And finally... me, being me

It's a bee!!!

Hope you enjoyed the little trek through my zoo trip!

Update Thursday #18

Update Thursday #18

Welcome to Update Thursday, my own personal meme of sorts where I post an update of the goings on at my blog, with reading, with writing, and beyond. Feel free to borrow the idea from me for your own bookish musings.

Reading, Writing...

Books I finished this week:

~The Ex Games by Jennifer Echols (Nookbook/Summer Romance Challenge)
~Real Live Boyfriends by E. Lockhart
~The Other Boy by Hailey Abbott (Nookbook/Summer Romance Challenge)

Books I'm reading now (and some still):

~Extraordinary by Nancy Werlin
~The Sky Is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
~Afterlife by Claudia Gray
~The Grand Escape by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor


I'm a little behind on reading and writing but that's okay. I was pretty focused on getting the blog back up and running. I have a book on characters and viewpoint that's really helping me out with my story. And pretty much every day I'm thinking about my stories while going about daily activities. Come up with an idea, jot it down to work on later. I think it would be good for me to dedicate 15 minutes a day to writing, just so I don't get too far out of habit. It's been at least a week or two since I sat down to write last. I need to get caught up!

And Otherwise...

I'm planning on a day at the zoo to see the lemurs near the end of the month. I can't wait! I love lemurs. They're my favorite animal and I've never seen one in person before. It's exciting. ^_^

Thanks to my Ed Westwick obsession, I watched an interview with him on You Tube and RUINED the end of season three. Remember my article on spoilers? This is what I'm talking about. That's why I should always keep up with these TV shows instead of getting obsessed with them after they finish FOUR seasons. Lol.



Well, that's it. I can't think of anything else. See everyone tomorrow!
