You Capture – Get Outside

August 26, 2010 by Elaine

A little trip to the zoo and a ride on the zoo train with “Mother Bear”…


and some play time at the playground there as well.


Checking out the animals (the ones that weren’t hiding in their ‘houses’ anyway…)



The clouds were pretty.


Some time playing by the ‘sprinkler ball’ in the yard.


And a butterfly that was nice enough to pose for me.

We did Get Outside. But we got back inside pretty fast too.

Air conditioning just feels so much better these days…

    The colors of the flower and butterfly are gorgeous, but my favorite is the first one. The back of little heads.

    Lovely photos – you captured that butterfly perfectly and your zoo pictures are wonderful. It has been too hot here to even contemplate going to the zoo or arboretum so I am really looking forward to the cool down this year.

    What beautiful captures! I love the variety! I couldn’t pick out a favorite but the clouds and the butterfly stick in my mind. And then I feel jealous because I remember the little train rides and the zoo trips and the photo ops that occur when kids are having fun!
    I love this post!
