TARONGA ZOO - S & L & H Come to Visit

What a perfect view as you walk from the entry, past the Australian Bird Avery, 
down the path towards the Giraffe.  Best real estate in Sydney.

 Love this pic, plus Lu's in the 'spot light'.

It was a beautiful sunny, autumn day.   
I think the cooler weather was a welcome change for the animals, as they were active and animated, which makes for a fun zoo visit.

  The Koi were larger than the spoon-bill.  
I have a 'hankerin' for a large pool with 2 or 3 Koi.  Well...a fish pond would be nice also...

It was a lovely trip to the zoo.  Mothers Day weekend.  Sam, Lu and Henry came to Sydney for a flying 4 day visit.  We were so excited to have them to stay.  
All 3 grand-kids are growing like beans.  In the blink of an eye they are little people with views and opinions and I Love It!  
We visited the Aquarium at Darling Harbour.  So many sharks.  Ate lunch, chatted and people watched.  Sam did some shopping and Lu had a chance to check out some Sydney shops in Pitt Street Mall.  Our last stop - Toys"R'Us was a hit for Henry.  He wandered slowly, pondered long and hard, then decided on 3 toys and off we went to the airport.  It was over way too fast.



Sometime Visitors...

 CRIMSON  ROSELLAS
As the Winter Camellias come into bloom they attract lovely visitors such as these lovely Rosellas.
