Scavenger Hunt Sunday

I'm joining Scavenger Hunt Sunday

at Ramblings and Photos by Ashley Sisk.

1. Birds

Flamingos at the Houston Zoo.
It is baby time and this little grey fluff is the first one of the season.
He was determined to keep his "back side" as his good side! 




2. Beach

This was the closest I could come to one of my favorite places ... the beach! 
I'll just have to dream on.....


3. Bridge

Bridge in the Japanese Garden in Hermann Park, Houston
I love the reflections.



4. Bottom

This is Mina when she first came to live with me (and Teddy and Cassie).
I think her little "bottom" is cute -- with her manx tail!




5. Butterfly

This is from 2009.
Cosmos in Musashi's Garden.
It was a good year for the Monarch butterfly.

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Camera Critters: All Grown Up!

When I visit the Houston Zoo, I always start with the Chilean Flamingo.

I've been watching the babies grow up.

From this-- 

Fluffy little grey balls.

To this -- almost all grown up!

Still grey, but beginning to get their pink coloring.

Very handsome!

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Thanks to Eileen at Saturday Critters.

Thanks, Misty!

Camera Critters: Babies!

I've been visiting the Houston Zoo while the weather is cooperating --

not too hot or too cool.

My first stop is always the Chilean Flamingo habitat to see the flamingo chicks.

"When I grow up, I want to look just like you!"

"Hey, look at me! I can stand on one leg, too. Yoga, flamingo style."

"Come on in. The water is fine."

It is so exciting to see the flamingo chicks.

You can read more about the flamingo habitat and the changes that were made here.

A big thank you to Misty for hosting Camera Critters each week.

Wishing all of YOU well and much joy.
