I’m still not moved. I’m still frustrated. I need comfort food. I went to the Sacramento Zoo. I love that place and haven’t been there since January. You never know what the animals will be doing.

One of the snow leopards was pacing in the enclosure, the mighty lions were asleep on top of their new platforms, the wood ducks were hiding, the new flamingo babies were finally placed with the grown ups, the orangutans were hiding, the wolf guenon exhibit and tiger exhibits were closed, the red river hog babies are almost full grown and the wallabies were finally letting me take good pictures. A gal can miss a lot in a few months!

Yes, the animals put me in a better mood, so did one young lady destined for stardom. I took her picture with her mom’s permission.

After the zoo, we went to shoot at the WPA Rock Garden for a few minutes. It was great to get out with my camera and away from the move.

A crested screamer sitting on her nest.

I don’t know what kind of duck this is, but it posed nicely!

Baby showing off.

Oh my, shedding his beak–normal, but not happy.

Baby blowing bubbles.

Red Panda got up from his nap, but briefly.

The Wallaby.

Eye on the Snow Leopard.

It was a difficult morning for this tiger.

This young girl had it all together!

Now at the WPA Rock Garden.

The sun was high in the sky.

Made shooting a little difficult.

But, you work with what you have.
