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.
The Characters in Flight ride takes about ten minutes, but will offer thrills that will last far beyond that day. This iPhone image was taken just as it was returning to its berth on a dock adjacent to the complex.
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.
