Day At The Zoo: The Wordless Or Not So Wordless

Day At The Zoo: The Wordless or not so Wordless Wednesday Link Up.

Happy Wednesday Friends. Hope you’re having a lovely week so far?

Mollie is still limping after cutting her paw at the weekend. It is driving her mad not going out for walkies. Also driving me mad with her keep pulling the carpet up out of bordem. I brought her a little boot to keep infection out on a walk around the block but she hates wearing it.

Hopefully, we will be back out on 2 walks a day very soon.

Thanks so much for joining us today for The Wordless or not so Wordless Wednesday Link Up!

What photos have you been taking this week?

Do you want to share with us?

Today I am sharing an outfit post and a few random photos of a visit to the Zoo a few weeks ago.

We had a great time at the zoo and must make more of an effort to go again soon.

Aww look, a baby gorilla. How adorable! I could watch them all day. Especially the baby one getting all brave and leaving Mum, but then soon running back to her when trouble is around. {Watch the Instagram video at the end}.

This African spurred tortoise is huge.

Imagine having one of these in your garden as a pet.

I thought this was some variation of a peahen but it was not.

It is a Victoria crowned pigeon.

How pretty.

    I just LOVE visiting the zoo. Meerkats and other smaller animals tend to be my favorites. I especially love when the animals are in a playful mood and are so entertaining to watch.
