My friend, Laura, invited us to go to the zoo with her today.  This was the last day of their yearly membership and she still had some guest passes left.  It was a gorgeous day.  Sunny and not too hot.

The leopard display was finally done being refurbished and the leopard was so close, you could almost touch him.  Except for the glass window separating us, of course.  :)  We had a great time.  More photos to come soon on My Perspective.  But in the meantime, head over to Laura's and see her awesome zoo photos.

I'm picking this one as my favorite photo of the week.  I mean, how often do you get to be this close to a leopard?  :)




Edit on July 6 ... I just saw that Misty picked this photo as one of her Top 5 for the week!  Thanks, Misty!

I am sick with strep throat today, so the camera stayed put.  This photo is from our zoo trip on Tuesday.  I know it is a little blurry, but I still thought it was cool looking.  Hopefully next time we go to the zoo, it won't be so busy and I'll get to take more time photographing in the aquarium.


Hoping to be around to visit everyone tomorrow!  Between enjoying the beautiful weather and now being sick (not to mention Blogger being down most of yesterday), I haven't been visiting.  But there is a lot of rain in the forecast :( ... so I'll be over to visit soon!

My friend, Laura, invited Alex and me to join her family at the Pittsburgh Zoo today.  It was a beautiful day and we had a very nice time.  The elephants are my favorite part of the zoo.

(BTW, Laura has some incredible photos on her blog of another local zoo.  Go check them out!)
