In the jungle

7 Aug 2011

The mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight. Apart from maybe not a jungle, but a zoo. There were still lots of wild animals to see though, and the advantage of them being enclosed is that they were less likely to attack me. 

The boyfriend and I went to London Zoo on saturday. Him excited to see the gorillas, and me excited to see the big wild cats,  probably to compensate for the fact that I can't adopt a (domestic) cat for a few months. We drank too much milkshake, fought with too many children to get good viewing points and ended up with sore feet at the end of the day. But we got some brilliant photos and had a great time. 









The picture of the gorilla yawning always makes me smile. The warthog looks so peaceful and sweet and I love looking at the photo of the penguins together. I tried to get a good picture of the tiger but mostly he stayed in his den sleeping and when he decided to get up and saunter around the enclosure there was a mad scrabble by everyone to get a glimpse of him. Some of my photos are slightly blurry as I was taking some from behind glass which was slightly smeared, so I'm sorry about that.

What did you get up to at the weekend?
