Kangaroo Chillin’ In The Shade

2011-06 Zoo Kodak 079

Oh, it’s too hot, too hot, lady. Gotta run for shelter, gotta run for shade…

Yes, I realize lots of bloggers post zoo pics, but every zoo is different, and every animal’s face (or posture, as it were) reveals a different moment. These pics were all taken during the summer, so it was about first level of Hades hot at the San Antonio Zoo. And just so you know, we’re STILL IN THE 90s here in central Texas all week, and not a drop of rain in sight.

This monkey appears positively dazed. So was I, honey. So was I.

This jungle king was about to clean pass out. Who could blame him? A rock never looked so comfortable.

The alligator looks bulletproof, doesn’t he? Go ahead and take a shot at him. I need new boots.

Just kidding. I can’t afford new boots. Stay tuned for Zoo, Part II.

Dogs Watching Football

The dogs had a front-row seat to a father-son football game in the backyard last night. They witnessed the passes and fumbles.

As usual, the male seemed more interested in the game. Jemima paused briefly from her latest goal of digging a hole to China while Tonto looked enraptured.
