New Year's Eve 2011

The Moon and Jupiter over the Freedom Tower in downtown Miami, Florida.  Beautiful night!

Zoo Miami

It was a picture-perfect South Florida day today; beautiful day for the zoo!!  High today was 74 and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.  This is why I live here!

This was a cute little duck with a blue bill.

Mother & baby rhino.

Mother and baby pygmy hippo.

Andean Condor.

NICE ASS!!

(Yeah, I'm Beavis & Butthead!)

This thing was really making some racket!

This was a beautiful bird in the Wings of Asia aviary.

Cayman.

These look like a herd of cattle!

And, these look like common deer!

Cool caterpillars (not a zoo exhibit)!

Such a nice smile!

CRANES and STORKS

Croc.

Hyena.

Ibis.

Beautiful Komodo Dragon!

Some llamas relaxing.

Monitor.

This was funny -- a zebra chasing an ostrich.

Nice moth (not part of the zoo exhibit).

Prevost's Squirrel.

Common squirrel (a.k.a. rat with a fuzzy tail).

Zoo Miami is such a pretty place to walk around!

Nice little area to cool off in the hot summer months!

And, here is the reason I prefer feathered and 4-legged beings to human beings.  This dumb-ass is changing her kid's dirty diaper on the PICNIC TABLES!  WTF?   The human just has no regard for anybody else, nor does it occur to her that, perhaps, others might want to eat here (isn't that what tables are for?).  The zoo provides this beautiful picnic area -- and she's setting up a toilet for her kid!  Rude, rude, rude human!
