What Are You Looking At? This cheetah at the Houston Zoo looked up from a nap as if to imply that I might want to move on and go gaze at someone else.
An Orange Flower Several days ago I posted a blue flower from the Houston Zoo. Continuing on this mystery-flower-theme is entry number two. There were many of these orange flowers blooming, so I’m guessing it must be a spring or early summer blooming flower. (I figured that out all on my own). Most times, I just walk around and enjoy the color and varieties, not caring much about their names. At least, not until I have to sit down and write something about them. Help a guy out and leave a comment if you know the name or anything else about this pretty flower.
Bath Time Looking your best is important, especially if you have company visiting you all day. Take these two leopards at the Houston Zoo for instance. People come and go all day long and they want to put on a good show. For most of my zoo trips this year, these guys have been hiding somewhere and I was starting to believe they didn't exist. But last week they were out, front and center; at least for a little while. It was fun watching one groom the other until he went back up on the rocks, out of sight.
A Blue Flower A botanist I’m not. I can tell a flower from a tree, but don’t ask me what type of flower it is. I can recognize the majors; roses, daisies, sunflowers, tulips and such. But if it’s something unusual, I’m speechless. Walking through the zoo, there were several flowers that screamed, “Hey, over here! Forget the mean looking lion and come check me out.” It’s hard to ignore such a pretty flower like this, so I accepted its invitation to admire its beauty and take a quick shot. Feel free to comment if anyone knows what kind it is.
I Wondered What Happened Next? Here you have a common tree squirrel. He has found his nut and is reveling in the moment, when he looks up and spots a cheetah, the world's fastest land animal. Both stood there for a few moments, not sure what to do next, but to those of us that were watching, it seemed like hours. Then one of them jumps... One scenario is that the little guy makes it to the tree and snickers at the big cat. The other scenario is that the survival of the fittest- circle of life thing takes place. You get the idea. Either way, I'm not saying. I'll let you finish the end of this little story.
The Mandir Fountains Sometimes when I go out on a shoot, I come back with a lot of images I like, but I try to narrow it down to one or two good ones to post here on the blog. Later, when I revisit the images, I'll see a few more that I like too. So I'll repost the same subject again, but hopefully with a different twist. That is the case with this image of the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir. This was actually taken on my second visit about a year ago. You can find some other shots and more information of this Hindu Mandir here.
