I'm going to the zoo, zooo, zoooo......you can come too, tooo, toooo...

I've had a full day today and my energy doesn't seem to be dwindling! I know I only have one thing to thank for my energy boost....SUNSHINE!!
The sun is well and truly out here in Hamburg and We've had two glorious days off it!!!! It's sooo revitalising having the bright warmth of a sunny day break what's been a mainly dull month. I am very thankful for it!!!
I've had some free time from work and have been making the most of  the glorious change in weather. I thought I would use the opportunity to get outside and see the sunny side of Hamburg.  Some time spent in the park "Planten en Blomen", plus a trip to the zoo doesn't sound like such a bad way to spend free time :-)
I'm not going to bore you with describing every picture, Instead I thought I'd just lay them here on the blog (Can you tell I want to go outside and enjoy the last of the evening sunshine?).  You can glance at them as you feel fit........or just skip to the end as there does seem so be a lot of pictures! :-)



I love that we have such a luscious green park here in the middle of the city. It almost feels like we could be in the country side.


I'm always mesmerized by the flowers in the park. Pretty pastel colours....


Or bold and striking statements!


Delicate and magical!....... Make a wish!!!!!!


I find it interesting to see the softness of nature up against the harsher man-made objects. Somehow they fit together.





I like to go to the park, but I LOVE to go to the zoo.............It's FREAKIN AWSOME!!!!!!

I got to feed the elephants! Look a that BIG smile!!!


Race?

Baby Alpaca:




"Cluck Cluck!"


"Tweet Tweet"


I'm thinking of growing a goatee?



"ROAAAAAAAAAAR!"

 

Take the plunge?


One of my favourite ways to spend a free day!!!
I hope you are all having a lovely start to the week....make it a good one!

  9. That is what I miss so much about Hamburg Planten en Blomen and Hagenbeck's Tierpark. Oh man, that zoo is the best in the world and it holds many great childhood memories. On my next Hamburg visit I should go again.
    Thanks for reminding me with those wonderful pictures (by the way - Baby Alpaca...extremely funny)
