peek*a*boo: animal instinct

my visit to the zoo zoo zoo....it has been ages since i last went to the zoo in the daylight... well, i was there a couple of years back for the night safari... so it was considered a new and exciting experience for me, and it was a great day out...
one of the highlights for me was... watching this sweet old lady taking a rest.. and it was hard not to notice her and her ornamented face and outfit along with her trainers/sneakers... i couldn't resist to take a picture of her :)

one of the zoo's highlights were the white tigers, there were 3, but i managed to grab a picture of the 2 lazy ones sunbathing on the rock...

when i was at the night safari years back, i was captivated by the majestic beauty of the giraffes, and fell instantly in love with them, their serenity and grace... but i was disappointed this time round... cos in the daylight, they seemed to be smaller and bland... i guess the zoo keeps the magnificent ones for the nights.. hmmmf

there were a few dozen of penguins paddling along in a tank... everyone was crowding around it (don't blame them, after the huge success of Happy Feet) when i saw these penguins, the first person came to mind was Tommy. {She is the author of a really lovely blog: http://www.thisisnaive.com/journal/ } tommy, if you read this, heehee... this picture, though not well taken, was dedicated to u :p

right, moving along, there was a Mr Polar Bear... swimming round and round in his giant tank... the only missing elements: Polar Bear Junior and a bottle of Coke Cola

i like this archway very much... my camera seemed to overexpose the pictures... cos the trunks were meant to be a lovely olive green with really deep shade of purple.. and i simply love the colours to that... and the effect was surreal...
