Holiday celebrations in Houston just got a little wilder
with the start of a new tradition at the Houston zoo.
Lions, Tigers and Lights -- OH MY!!
with the start of a new tradition at the Houston zoo.
Lions, Tigers and Lights -- OH MY!!
Lights depicting many of the zoos animals are located near their habitats.
Thousands of twinkling lights, lighted animal sculptures, holiday projections, carolers,
Christmas music throughout the zoo.
You can work up an appetite strolling through the zoo.
There's hot chocolate, funnel cakes, cinnamon rolls, gingerbread men,
pizza, sandwiches -- all those good holiday treats that make your mouth water!
I plan on going back several more times.
It was just too much fun!
Thank you to our hosts:
Wishing YOU well and much joy during this holiday season!
They sure did a good job.
ReplyDeleteFun!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun. I love Christmas lights in just about any form.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lights! The Denver Zoo does something very similar --it's fun to see!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a fun event!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. It must be quite a draw in the winter months!

ReplyDeleteWhat fun. I'll be going to a holiday party at the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. Can't wait to see the decorations!

I wonder what the animals though of their newly decorated home. Sounds like a fun night out. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteAwww …. your header with the snowman, children and umbrella is SO adorable. I almost couldn’t look past it to see the lit-up zoo. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Fantastic 'light show' ~ Great photography ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
ReplyDeleteThat is so perfect for you, I know how much you love the zoo. I was just thinking about you last night. I was doing some art on Society6 when I stumbled upon this amazing photographer who only shoots animals. I thought of you immediately and your gorgeous work.
ReplyDeleteWell have a great night.

P.S. I love your Christmas header.
I love it. The Tulsa Zoo has a similar tradition that was very popular. We tried it with our son when he was about 3 with unanticipated results. He loves the Zoo and didn't get a flip about the lights, he wanted to see the animals and had a meltdown when he couldn't.
ReplyDeleteahh, Christmas memories.
Such lovely and interesting pictures! Lovely header too :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun light show!!!
ReplyDeletehow beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous! They have a light show like this at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens, where we used to live. So much fun!
