We took Evie to Boo at the Zoo this weekend and I had to bring my camera along. She had such a great time being Tinkerbell for the evening and even had a talk with Cinderella along the way.

Boo at the Zoo

This guy told me he'd had this mask for many years. Never seen it before, but he sure pulled off a scary face.

A patron greets us today in full werewolf get-up.

(Processed with the MCP action, "Sweet Honey", to give it a nice retro Halloween feel)

A scarecrow I met yesterday.

This chorus line of rainbow-colored skeletons, in top hats and canes, is part of the annual Halloween Boo at the Zoo decorations at the National Zoo in Washington, DC.

Selma checks out some enrichment left for her and her boyfriend, Sasquatch.

I'll try to resist. :)

Her shirt actually said, "Hug Time."

Fortunately, this kid didn't get stuck, but my parental sensors were activated!

Gemma enjoyed hers.

Boo goes Bei bear !

A few of the musicians I encountered last weekend. I still haven't learned which is which, but this singer is either Jennifer or Danielle. Together, the two sisters are a local group that I've photographed before.

I am currently using this image as my computer's wallpaper, just because it's fun. Families dressed up for "Boo at the Zoo," the Halloween program that lasted several weekends.

Brian is one of the zoo staff. He seems to have found a way to dress up while remaining in the Halloween spirit!

The meerkats warily eye their new skarekrow.

Otay folks, time for beddy byes - playing wiv my friend - jack o lantern ! Hope you all had a nice time ..

And, here's a wolf giving a "high five" to a sea turtle. Remember, you saw it here.

Don't forget it's Boo at the Zoo this weekend SNZ

I love it when people catch me aiming a lens at them . . . and they smile.

The zoo has already used this image on social media, since I snapped it on Saturday. It's one of my favorites from "Boo at the Zoo," too.

Still looking cute,.. although sleepy ...

Not often you get to be face to face with a Transvall Lion female. This was an opportunity I could NOT pass on. Yes, it is a bit hazy but I like the photo. More information about the zoo on their web site. www.racinezoo.org

Thank you for your comments and faves.

It feels like Halloween is over. Janice and I enjoyed both a "boo at the zoo" event and a trunk-or-treat program at our church. In reality, tonight's the night! So, here are a few left-over Halloween pictures that really apply to today.

This young gorilla chased a squirrel out of it's enclosure. However, it was raining and wet outside, so when she returned, she huddled against the door frame and rubbed her hands along her biceps to warm them up. Such a familiar behavior.

Two children peer from behind a plywood mural of penguins, posing for Mom, as their younger sister laughs. Kids wore costumes, this weekend, for the annual "Boo at the Zoo" event.

We were watching the female Transvall Lion and she surprised us when she got up and started to paw the glass when this person showed up with the costume.She wouldn't stop until the person walked away. More information about the zoo on their web site. www.racinezoo.org

A few of the volunteers at the zoo's kid-friendly Halloween event. I love working with these people!

It's interesting to see the variety of children's reactions to an adult in a costume.

A small child receives a handful of Tootsie Rolls as he and his family walk around the zoo. The program, "Boo at the Zoo" draws many families each year. It brings good income for the not-for-profit organization, and provides a safe Trick-or-Treat experience for everyone.

Even Radley, the zoo's mascot, put on a costume to greet people at the zoo.

... and a ghostie hanging around too. Xi Lan on Halloween day 2010
