popping..Aaaaww men. Wasn’t sure if I wanted to do “Furry” this week for Photohunt because it is just too obvious… and haven’t really been in touch with my creative side lately so I’m thinking what else could be furry? I can’t think of any other but…
I guess we’ll be seeing a lot of furry animals this week– lots and lots of furs!
The best thing about going to animal parks and zoos in the United States is the vast land area the animals occupy. The parks are well kept and well maintained and the animals could freely move around like they are in their own habitat in the wild. My memory of zoos in my childhood growing up in the Philippines was that of animals cramped and caged in a tiny usually grungy and smelly unfinished concrete pens and they look sad and hungry all the time!! Haven’t been in Philippine zoos the last 20 years or so, maybe it’s changed. I hope it’s changed.
The parks all across America are expansive. These photos were taken from the San Diego Animal Park in California where there are more than 3500 animals living comfortably in a 1800 acre or 728 hectare land. Amazing.

What is this flutter?
Why am I feeling this queasy feeling in my stomach?
I shouldn't feel this but I am feeling,
this crazy tremulous feeling.
Heart pounding, head racing.
It is exciting.
It is confusing.
Heck, it is ...
around this time
every year since you left
you get me in this pensive mode
it's not as painful as
when i think about you
around the time we met
yes see, i had to think about you
twice every year.
that's all ...
Great shots of really beautiful animals.
Happy weekend.
Very great shots. It seems as if you were so near to them when you shot this.
My PH entries are here and here. Hope you can hop by if you have the time. Thanks!
Well, obvious doesn’t mean it’s not beautiful, as you shots prove.
I have tigers in my entry, too. You captured some really nice photos and San Diego is one of the best in the U.S. because of the size and natural habitats.
If you have time stop by my photo hunt!

Fantastic shots! Our zoos weren’t so good here years ago either, but thank goodness they have changed into what you have witnessed. I like that you managed to work in the exotic animals, everyone else has a house pet. I went for the silly myself, check out my take at:

I couldn’t get very creative, myself, this weekend. I chose my dog, plus he has a very cute mix of two breeds. I love your photos. Have a great weekend.
Very awesome photos!
Thank you my fellow photo hunters for stopping by… always appreciate your visits. Until next time.
