New Orleans 2014 - the zoo day

We took a little vacation to New Orleans. Mostly it was hot. Except the last morning, it was divine. Divenely cool with a bit of a breeze.

Anyway, our first day there was the Audubon Zoo. Sadly, it left us a bit depressed. I think we are no longer zoo people. Some of the conditions of the animals left us next to tears. What comes for mind to me is the cheetahs, boars and some of the larger animals. Not enough room. Simply not enough room. They are bored and without purpose. Pacing. Endlessly pacing.

As I post the images, I'm not putting my favorites first, but simply going in chronological order. I'll let you find the favorites for yourself.

But, here is the zoo. And we finished off the day with a walk through New Orleans.
