Gladys Porter Zoo ~ Brownsville Texas

Whew...The Zoo photos are here...this is just a small portion of the photos, the rest of them are on my flickr site...Enjoy!!
White Pelican

The new LOVE in my LIFE!! I am not sure if this was a boy or girl gorilla but it liked me and I liked him/her...She wouldn't come up to the window display when Fred and Michael were there but when I came up she/he jumped right up there. She/He wanted me to groom her/him but it was kind of hard to do through the glass...Fred took photos. They aren't the greatest photos but I'll treasure them always...I left my heart at the Gladys Porter Zoo, sigh!


Most of you that know me also know that my son NEVER poses for me. He hates my camera and when I bring it out he runs the other way screaming...Well never say never....he found this lion statue at the Zoo and asked if I would take photos of him, I almost choked!! Of course I said Yes and snapped away...he was cracking us up as he was really getting into posing for the camera!!




I think my favorite animals at the Zoo (except for the sweet little Gorilla) is the Giraffes.

Then we have Mr. Stripes the Zebra!

A Rhino.

Once again Michael was posing for the camera on a statue of a Saltwater Croc.

A snowy Egret

This Tree was awesome and Not one I would ever want to climb.

A golden crowned Crane, if I remember correctly?

Peek a Boo behind the turtles butt! LOL


A black Mamba...( I think that is how it is spelled and what it is), one of the worlds deadlist snakes and very beautiful too.

The rest of my Zoo photos are at my flickr site, just too many to post here...We really enjoyed the Gladys Porter Zoo. Fred even thought it was better than the Houston Zoo...I think so too!!

That is all for our Vacation photos....Over 500 photos and it took me 10 hours today to go through them and post them...Hope everyone enjoyed our vacation, we did!!
