Life is a Zoo

Life is a zoo and kids sure make it more fun! Our granddaughter loved her trip to the Albuquerque Zoo and was fascinated that a Polar Bear could actually live in the high desert of Albuquerque.

Albuquerque Zoo opened in 1927 and has grown to a beautiful 64- Acre haven from close encounters with exotic and native animals of all types. The Albuquerque Zoo is home to over 200 species of animals and offers actives and feeding times, music concerts, annual events and camp classes. Be sure to wear your walking shoes and be ready for a day of fun with the animals up close and real personal. The zoo is a perfect way to decompress, enjoy the great outdoors and enjoy a day in the life of the animals. See you there!

Good Morning John,

I love this post! Forming a connection with animals at an early age, and looking into their soulful eyes, such as those depicted by your amazing photography is incredible. Your granddaughter is BEAUTIFUL! I love the fact that she has thought provoking questions, such as how can a Polar Bear live in the high desert of Albuquerque? What a smart girl she is and I know she has to fill your family with pride and joy. Discovery is what life is all about! Let us never loose that sense of wonder.

You're very right disovery is a continuing thing for all of us and you nailed it with never loosing the sense of humor!

Make it a great day in all you do and thanks for suggesting!

John, I love your pictures. The hippo is my favorite. Its like he thinks the water is hiding him and he's just peeking out the top. Too cute.

WOW those are some really great shots! Our zoo here is not great. Hard to see the animals so I would love to check this zoo out with my kids.

John - I saw this on Roy's reblog and I'm so glad I caught it - what incredible pictures and I feel like I went on safari! The Albuquerque Zoo is a must see for anyone living or visiting your area. I've always loved zoos so much in fact that I finally went to Tanzania, Africa to see the real thing up close and personal - it was a wonderful trip!

Kristin. I so appreciate Roy and his re-blogs! Wow Tanzania..what an incredible trip that had to be. I would love to see all of the animal species in their native environment. Zoos are great but nothing like the real thing. Thanks for coming by we always appreciate you.
