Macro Monday San Francisco Zoo Flowers

-

I visit our local zoo primarily to see the animals and I am always surprised to see such beautiful and exotic flowers and plants from around the world.  There are species from South Africa, New Zealand and much more.  Here are just a few I snapped while visiting the San Francisco zoo yesterday.  Enjoy!

They are just gorgeous to see, Jo!

Visiting your blog is such a joy for me, as our weather is so terrible that school even closed today.

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
