Here's your Monday moment - Ray captured this shot of the lion over Labor Day Weekend. We visited the Fort Worth Zoo. The lion was perched high, very attentive. The view - across the way was the zebras and she kept her eye on the baby zebra. In her brain, "when's lunch?" Ah, nature.
On another Monday moment - 9/11 - today we remember. I shall never forget.
Peace

DeleteI always feel a bit guilty when visiting zoos; although I love animals. Then I remember that the animals usually live much longer in captivity. London Zoo, in Regents Park, specialises in species-protection research.

I understand but the zoo shows their conservation programs and promote animal health. Plus I do think if kids see live animals, they will have more empathy vs just seeing a picture
DeleteHi Joanne - love the lioness watching out and hoping she'd be let loose to run ... glad you got to visit - cheers Hilary

ReplyDeleteVery alert. The other lions were sprawled and snoozing
