Kansas 2013 Part 4

[Roanoker]

It is the same day, but I took a lot of pictures, so the new topic.


I took 25 pictures of this tiger. I’m showing only three of them here. Isn’t he pretty?


I wonder what he’s saying.


I’m glad there was strong glass between us.


“I think I can. I think I can.”


These birds—whatever they are—look like angels.


Yeah, well, I like grass. This grass is dotted.


Bittersweet, embedded in itself.


Just hanging out in his striped outfit.


The original picture was much bigger, filled with even more wood chips, and this one, tiny flower.


This isn’t a particularly good picture, but I liked the name of a zoo restaurant. Cute.


I was going to clone out the spider web, but my son said it belonged there. So I left it alone.


Just being purple.

[Roanoker]

Zoo flower.


Ditto.


Finally. An animal.


I took many pictures of these giraffes because we could get so close to them.


Munch. Munch.


"Love your outfit.” “Thanks."


"Pose, please.”


Had to angle my camera to get the whole guy in.


That’s one way to nibble dinner on the ground.


Leaves for dessert.


Hey! Not a giraffe!


Zebra attends a duck convention. At nap time.

[Roanoker]

Zeeeebra!


Faux whatever.


If you like grasses...


…you won’t be disappointed. This picture is the top part of the portrait-oriented original.


Peeking through.


Kids are welcome here.


Should have done a better job with this portrait-oriented image. Oh, well.


Water, water.


A swinging bridge on a swinging bridge. I don’t know the family crossing it.


More water, through the trees.


Gorilla statues...


…and the real thing.

[Roanoker]

“Let me out of this jail!"


“Whatchoo lookin’ at?"


“Too bad those poor humanoids are trapped in that big box."


“Well, I’ve got better things to do."


Humans must stay inside.


“What’s on TV?"


Back to grass.


My son takes a picture with his iPhone.


Here’s my version of the subject, taken with my Nikon. I got the leaf in better focus than the intended flower.


On the lookout.


“Who are you?"


“Is that the doorbell?

[Roanoker]

Nice flowers and accompanying grass.


There’s always grass.


I don’t know what these animals are. I call them hog things. I applied a Photoshop filter to everything but the two animals.


Here’s another shot of the hog things, on dry land.


Orange berries. How to show, how to show...


How to show…


Now for a few lions.


Or maybe the same one in different shots.


What is he thinking?


On the move.


Time to rest with a companion.


No worries, mate.

[Roanoker]

Reaching for the sky.


Just a few flowers. Almost as if they were on a window sill.


Tiny explosion.


I applied a fake butterfly here to cover up a bothersome, blurred flower.


One more butterfly shot.


“Where’s my food?”


White is nice.


I think this is some sort of turkey. Mind the feet!


“I want out!”


Fancy face.


“Where is that baby I’m supposed to deliver?”


“I’m so pretty.”
