Geelong Throng visit Melbourne Zoo

Yesterday, Saturday June 13, some of the hardier ‘Geelong Throngers’ braved the cold weather to visit Melbourne Zoo. It was good to meet up with familiar faces again and have a look at those animals that weren’t snuggled up somewhere warm. I spent some time with Kathryn lphotographing animals and drooling over handsome men!! Anyway, came away with a few reasonable shots …..

1.

Napping

Hiding

7.

Little Frog

8.

Wrapped up! This snake must have recently enjoyed a large meal judging by it’s distended belly.

Lizard

Where are you?

12.

Rebuff?

13.

Monkey trio

14.

The pigeon is about to get the fright of it’s life. It kept walking closer to the gorilla and, when it was in swatting range, a huge paw came out and swiped at it. This happened several times in a row. I think they were both having a bit of fun.
