I Want To Hold Your Hand
( The Beatles )
Oh, yeah, I'll tell you somethin' I think you'll understand
When I say that somethin' I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
Oh, please say to me you'll let me be your man
And please say to me you'll let me hold your hand
Now let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
And when I touch you I feel happy inside
It's such a feelin' that my love I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide
Yeah, you've got that somethin' I think you'll understand
When I say that somethin' I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

Usually not one for giraffe pictures from zoos as you always get the tall fences in the shot or have to settle for the close up of the face. Well the NC zoo has the most beautiful habitat for their giraffes. It is all built up around so no fences are seen and covers a lot of ground with several viewing areas. Loved it.
This shot originally had a very large head in the lower right and a couple small ones in the lower left but i was able to clone them out somewhat decently. I tried to just crop them out but didn't like the shot any other way than the original so did the quick cloning.

Swimming Bear

A polar bear swimming at the NC Zoo in Asheboro, NC. I took this back in March of 2019, while visiting the zoo with Sandi. We had a great time!

I re-edited this image adjusting the color balance as the original was very green.

I've been here grounded far too long
I'm ready to see the open wide
Ready to sing a different song
I've seen my troubles 'long the way
I want to sail towards the sun
I want to turn another page
I'm on my way
I'm ready to fly,
I'm ready to soar
I'm ready to leave this world behind.
I'm ready to open up the door
I'm ready to fly,
I'm ready to spread my wings across the sky
I think it's time
I'm ready to go
I'm ready to fly.
You've told me I could rise above
Like an eagle on the wind
I can glide upon Your love
But I feel the pull of gravity
And it's a weight upon my shoulders
i can't stay here any longer
I've gotta be free
And it's been so long
Since i've seen the bright morning sun
Through the early morning horizon
And it's been so long
Since i've felt the air under my wings
And seen all of these things from above

Another shot from the NC Zoo from yesterday. We really enjoyed watching the elephants, they were pretty close to the viewing area.

From 2013:
"One of my favorite images from 2013 is this image. It was early and I was on my way to photograph the baby gorillas at the NC Zoo, when I decided to quickly stop and see the lions. I couldn't believe my eyes at first, but quickly setup my tripod and started taking pictures. I bracketed the exposures and moved around a few times taking about 20 different shots in all.
I have an enlarged version of this photo above my stairs coming down from our playroom. I love seeing the image as it reminds me of how beautiful and unexpected life can be."
Cheers,
Wade

Polar Bears International founded Polar Bear Week to coincide with the time when the bears have congregated near Churchill, waiting to return to their seal-hunting grounds. During Polar Bear Week, we celebrate the bears and draw attention to the need to take action on climate change … and how you can help!" bit.ly/pbearweek

He was sunbathing by himself when the female came over and disturbed His Royal Highness. I don't think he appreciated it very much, as he got up threw his head back and started making all these funny faces.
It was already around 95 and it was still morning! I went by Willy's exhibit a few times before he decided to get in and go for a swim!

(For those of you not familiar with Willy, he has a couple benign growths on his chinny. Keepers say they are in no way a health issue and trying to remove them is unnecessary)
The hoofstock have returned!!
Most are off exhibit or in barns during the colder months and this is the first chance I had to enjoy seeing them this season.

And I'll be there
You've got a friend"
Guess where I went today?
Yep the NC Zoo!
Sandi and I went and had a nice morning checking out the animals.
We were sad that the Polar bears were not out, but did get to see a few other animals.
Including this chimpanzee. I sat on the floor by the glass and she sat down right in front of me. I said "Hi" and we just looked at each other for 5 minutes or so.
