Golden Lion Tamarin, National Zoo

By
Industry Observer with Retired

Golden Lion Tamarin, National Zoo  

Real estate professionals tend to work long hours, including weekends, and frequently take too little time for personal and family pleasure.  As you prepare your goals for the coming year, be sure to include time for personal enjoyment.  My friend Joni Staples commented that she had not visited a zoo in over 25 years.  Add your local and regional zoos to your schedule and, with camera in hand, take a few hours to enjoy the visits.

Include visits to the zoo in your plans for the year.

Beautiful photo - I LOVE going to the zoo, especially the improved ones that offer ranges for their beasts, vs. cages....

He's so cute, Roy. And he looks a bit stressed. Maybe needs to spend time with family.

You're so right Roy. Breaking away from the daily routine and having some fun should be a goal for all of us in 2013...

Roy,  Now that guy really looks like he was posing for you.  A field trip to the zoo would be a great break.

Roy, Zoos are fascinating adn bring back good childhood memories for me. My husband thinks that they are stinky places and doesn't enjoy them near as much as I do.

That has to be the most unusual looking animal I've seen in awhile.  It looks cute, but ferocious!  I can't help but wonder what its true nature is:-)

Hi Roy, Pictures of animals delight me. What a beautiful Tamarin. I was showing a home today and got to see a pair of beautiful minks, one white ( cream) and one dark one. They played and were so cute I wanted to play with them but I just looked and keep my fingers in tact. :-)

It is sometimes a good practice to revisit old blogs and reblogs. We might even find some good ideas for current posts.
