African Safari - Texas style...

To appease Michael last Saturday after visiting the girly bling bling shop we decided to head over to "Natural Bridges Wildlife Ranch"...I threatened Dawn that if my windshield wipers got ripped off by an animal she was in deep doo doo. (I'm happy to report that my windshield wipers survived :o)...I had over 200 + photos that Dawn and I took and these are what I narrowed them down too...it wasn't easy!

One of my favorites!
~

North American Bison, not something you'd see on an African Safari but this safari was in North America and I'd say he kind of belonged here!

Wildebeest!
~

~

I'm not fond of goats...I think it's their eyes, they just aren't right :o)
~

~

~

There were a lot of animals snoozing in the shade! This guy stood out with his antlers!
~

One of my favorite photos...
~

Uh Oh! I really like this photo!

I think my camera might be annoying her...(evil chuckle)

Ya know what though? She knows I LOVE her!!
~

Yikes!! I think I'd best turn that camera back to the animals on the outside of the vehicle, this one seems to be getting a bit HOt under the collar...

(kiss kiss Dawny Poo)
~

Ekkk...Not sure I like it when this thing sticks his face in mine!
~

Gulp!!

I'd hate to see what she could do with that beak!

Might be time to roll the window up! Just leave my

wiper blades alone, ya HEAR!!!
~

Oh I do love the stripes!

~

The Zebra's were hungry and they had us laughing!
~

They'd open their mouths (not to bite) expecting someone to literally

throw a food cube in their mouth...Dawn was a pretty good shot at this and

I think the Zebra's knew this!
~

Food Heaven!

Spoiled rotten!
~

This is my favorite photo of the day...I just love it!
~

Dawn got a photo of the young Zebra, they were cute!
~

Okay lets not climb in the truck, sheesh!!

(Food! I want Food!)
Not sure Fred would like it if I brought home a living/breathing Zebra!
~

A two humped camel...kind of cool!
~

Awww....Look at those big brown eyes!
I think the little one there needs a trim?
~

And this little guy/girl was too sweet!

I over-heard that it was 3 days old. I wouldn't doubt it, it slept a lot.

Momma was a bit worried as she wanted to go in the barn and this little one just

wanted to lay there and snooze in the sun!
~

The adolescents sun-bathing!
~

Ahh they had monkeys too!

This is a red-breasted monkey that loves to climb rocks!

~

Then the little monkey found a friend!

Michael and Dacey!
~

One was posing and the other was not! Typical!
~

Friends! Good Friends!
~

Giraffes are so different! But still pretty cool!
~

A Mothers love...another one of my favorite photos!
~

Way over there, that was Daddy! He was Huge!

I know there are different breeds of giraffes, not sure what these were

but they were Huge! And gorgeous too!

I could have sat there all day and taken photos of the giraffes :o)
~

We had a great time at the Wildlife ranch, so glad we decided to go!

We might just have to check it out again!
