When my sisters were here in February we went to the zoo one morning. Instead of using a coupon to get in at a lower price, I paid full price for the “pay for the day and come back all year for free” ticket. This is a good place to get in an hour walk. I was traveling light on this morning with only my phone.
It was fun watching the gibbons fly across the ropes.
Hanging out with a yellow billed stork in the aviary.
An otter swims by.

A wild Mom mallard and her babies were eating some of the manatee’s lettuce.
I went underneath and saw them through the glass. It’s nice that the underwater viewing area is air conditioned so I stayed a little longer than I should have.

They had a dinosaur exhibit for a few weeks and since I was there early on a weekday morning I walked through the exhibit. I’m sure there was a line to get through it on the weekends. It made for a fun walk.
Hello,
What a fun way to get in a walk and to have a free zoo pass for the year.
Great photos of all the animals, my favorites are the manatees, I love the cute Otter and the pretty Stork. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.
I love the under the water photos! WOW! I would enjoy spending time there too!
You never know what you’ll run into at the Zoo — you saw a wide variety. That ticket is great to have when you’re lucky enough to live close by. I’m sure there are times of the year when a walk close to and partly in air conditioning is just what you need. Your underwater photos are so good — especially when you say you didn’t have your “real” camera. Loved the Mallards stealing the lettuce leaf. Sallie
The otters are my fave.
