I was at the zoo this morning with two of my little grandchildren. At 2 and 4, they got bored pretty quickly and wanted to see the Farm Animal section. Lol. Aw well, it's warm here ( by our standards) and lots of the animals were pretty lethargic and laying around.

We don't have flamingoes at our zoo either. :)

John- Zoos bring back such good childhood memories for me. The are much more sophisticated than 50 years ago. Your area zoo looks like a nice one.

John, going to the zoo is such a luxury, and would love to get there right now! I do believe I have seen flamingos in some yards around Denver, but they don't move much!

John, "You must do the Albuquerque Zoo" sounds like a plan. With over 1.2 million visitors a year the Albuquerque Zoo sounds like the hot ticket in New Mexico.

John, Sounds like fun. I try not to go to the zoo with Will. Some of the monkeys might recognize him. Ha Ha.

John,

I have been to Albuquerque several times but never have made the zoo. I would like to go sometime especially after reading your blog. Ticket prices are inexpensive. Good picture on your blog.

John,

The zoo sounds like a lot of fun! I must admit I have never been to the zoo there! There are so many things to see and do there. I enjoyed my time in New Mexico and it does get in your blood! Take care and have a great week!

I want to go to the zoo! (That always reminds me of the scene in Jerry Maguire when the little kid says it over and over and Tom Cruise is drunk and says.....)

Hi John - I love a good zoo, and a good zoo starts with plenty of Flamingos. When we come to the Q, it will definitely be on our list.

I would love to visit the zoo with my camera in hand. Maybe Kerrie would be my model to pose with some of the animals.

I hope you are having an outstanding week.

Hi John, I haven't been to the zoo in years, and I was just thinking recently that it would be great to stop by for a visit this summer. Not sure if our SA zoo offers all the nice attractions and animals that you have in the "Q", but I would love to visit your zoo too.

I love going to zoos. When I used to travel for a living, I tried to make time to go to the zoos. So lucky to have visited a few really good ones.

John -- it's no wonder that the Albuquerque Biopark Zoo is so popular throughout New Mexico. Your posts have highlighted many of the great "finds" one can "discover" while visiting.
