'Prairie dog' by Me

Before our trip to the zoo on Monday I can't say I knew much about Prairie dogs but now I am quite a fan. I still don't know much about them to be honest but the ones I did see were really cute. There was a lot of love in their enclosure. There were some hugging and some appeared to be kissing and this one ever so kindly posed for a photo for me.

Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!

'Penguins' by Me

Penguins, a photo by PhotoPuddle on Flickr.

My husband took the day off and we went to the zoo today! We went to a place called Drusillas Park which is probably my favourite zoo because it's full of monkeys and monkey like animals. I love monkeys. These aren't monkeys though, these are penguins. Penguins are pretty cool too, just not as cute as monkeys.

This picture was actually quite hard to take as the penguins were really far away and also not doing anything particuarly interesting or close together. Luckily this little gang stepped out of hiding for long enough to get a few nice shots. I made it black and white simply because it was a rather colourless image and this makes it a bit more striking.
