Indianapolis Zoo

The Zoo was terrific in every since of the word! I fully enjoyed myself and was also a little terrified at times.

Terrified = snakes! I didn't take any pictures and had to walk as quickly as possible through that area.

Our nephew thought he wasn't scared of sharks and wanted to pet the baby sharks... but when we got to that area, he just couldn't do it... maybe he felt like I did about the snakes!

So what did we do at the Zoo!

We saw most all the mammals they had.
We saw the desert area... lizards.. yikes.. not fond of reptiles..
Rode the train.

The nephew & niece rode the ponies.
I think the only portion we didn't visit was the petting zoo.. but by the time we got around to it.. they so needed a nap!

I enjoyed the butterflies most of all. It was so pretty in there and so relaxing and so warm... just makes you feel happy and good.

They had to check our clothing before we went outside. I thought that was pretty cool.

And then there was the loveliest garden, just like out of an English countryside... Very manicured and very elegant. LOVED IT!

There were statues like this little prince charming waiting for his princess kiss all over the gardens. I could imagine all sorts of goings on there...

I didn't get a picture of the overall look of the place... but I did have two little monsters to keep up with.

Going to Indy was a welcomed change and I enjoyed every minute of it. But now that summer is approaching, don't think I'll be leaving until the fall for another trip.

I have a little bit more to tell about my trip... but I'll do that later.

Ps. My father-in-law let me play with a micro-Nikkor 55mm lens for as long as I want. I've been playing and I will show some of my photos and edits soon. :)
