Lion in Denver Zoo: Mike in Tucson

Yaawwwnnn....  You looking at me?!

Lioness in Denver Zoo:  Mike in Tucson

I took a couple of weeks off from Active Rain, treked up to Littleton, Colorado and spent a wonderful four days with family.  Little India, 2 1/2 years, enjoyed the Denver Zoo with Grandpa Oso, Mommy and little sis Zion.

Don't you know I took the camera?

Mike, I love the pictures --- good thing you had your camera.  Have you been to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs?  Here we get to feed the giraffes all the kids love it.  Glad you had fun with the family.

Very cool shots, Mike.  She was posing like a beauty queen.  My daughter got a very cool shot of a giraffe licking her face at the Cheyenne Zoo in Colorado Springs.  Like Joan just said, the giraffes are very friendly.

And free use?  Very nice of you.

Hey Mike,

How is the Denver Zoo compared to our little zoo here?

The Phoenix Zoo?

I have to remind people that we also have the world renowned Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum here. One cool place!

A yawn can be intimidating!

I've been known to wake up like that.

As TLW would say "Roar!!"

Bill,

That's what she would say for sure!

Toni,

Never!  :)

Gabrielle,

Sure does!  Good morning to you.

Myrna,

I'll bet it's not her first rodeo!

Lenn,

It's 5:40 a.m., and I just yawned as I read your comment!  :)

Donna,

It's serendipity.

Don,

It's a nice little zoo, comparable to ours in Reid Park.  I've never been to the Phoenix Zoo, and will make it a new years resolution.  The Desert Museum is a different story; we've been members for 13 years, and nothing tops it!

Virginia,

Good to see you; thanks for stopping by to comment!  Re free use of my photos, I got the nicest email from a fellow Rainer who used my AR photos to make a book for her Mother for Christmas.  That made me smile!

Joan,

I haven't been to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in the Springs, but I'll bet my grand daughter India has!

Rob,

I'm glad you took time to look!

Sue,

I wonder who her dentist is...  :)

John P,

You're very welcome!

John N,

She knows she's good looking for sure!

Joni,

Thanks for being the first to comment!  Have yourself a GREAT day.

I have been a fan of your outdoor pictures for a long time and love these. I am however, glad that there was a barrier between you and this big cat...he looks like he might be hungry ;-)

Harry,

I think maybe she wants the hand that holds the bagel...  That's one big mouth!

Debra,

Thanks for the feature!  See you on your blog.

Kerrie,

We want photos!  LOL

Don,

It's good to see you!  I hope you're doing well.

Russell,

She has an intense look in that bottom photo.  She might have been hungry...
