Hello all!  I’m settled in New Zealand and slowly exploring my new city and hopefully country.  I haven’t taken my camera out yet (but am planning to this weekend!) and so am going to start processing the backlog of photos I’ve taken.

First, a trip to the San Antonio Zoo from a birthday party in May!

An alligator of blue!

The elephants at the zoo are old ladies, but they’re very peaceful to watch.

And the giraffes! The giraffe exhibit was new since the last time I’d been there – you could get really close to them and they were super active.

And they make the weirdest faces.  Constantly.  Baby John (whose birthday we were celebrating) really enjoyed watching the giraffes!

The rhinos!  Their enclosure is so bare.

A grumpy cheetah.  His face looks so sad, but I think he was just annoyed and curious about us strange humans.

And this little guy dashed across my path right as we were leaving.  I didn’t know that squirrels came in two-toned!
