What do zoo nuts do when at a zoo reunion? We go to visit another zoo! Last week’s Toledo Zoo gang drove to the Detroit Zoo for a fun afternoon. Enjoy!

A return trip to Toledo to visit old friends and new ones was wonderful. Filled with three days of laughs, new adventures and terrific animal sightings. Ohio has lots of fine zoos – but this zoo is my favorite.

The winter presses on – with over 56 inches of snow in NYC in 2014. I am not sure how many more Sunday montage titles I can use – maybe Snowmageddon is next. The Central Park Zoo animals (especially the snow leopards, snow monkeys and red pandas) are my snow muses. Also watch a lovely video that my friend and Zoo Guide Wendy Walters made of our adorable cubs as they romped in the snow. A shout out to Wendy for deleting the sound of my clicking camera while she was filming.
If you enjoy my weekly photos, how about signing up for my next Central Park Zoo Photography Workshop on Sunday, March 9, from 8:30 to 10:30. Experience breakfast and a photo shoot with our Tropical Birds and maybe we will be lucky and there will still be some opportunities for snow photos too.

New York City’s snowfall in 2013 amounted to 27 inches. It is only February and we have already tracked 40 inches with more snow coming later today. SNOWPOCALYPSE!

As you all know – January was bitterly cold. The Central Park Zoo became a month long winter wonderland – and the forecast predicts more to come.

We could not resist a visit to The National Zoo to meet the adorable five month old panda, Bao Bao. She made her debut to the public last week. At only 18 pounds she is beyond adorable. We were lucky to catch her awake for a short time. Bao Bao means ‘precious’ or ‘treasure’ in Mandarin. Check out the video I took in 2008 when the last panda was born at the National Zoo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaVrBTFtIJE

Leaping leopards, flying monkeys, soaring sea lions and bounding babies are a joy to see at the Central Park Zoo. It is even better when you can capture that moment with your camera. Today’s montage is all about those special moments.

A New Year’s trip to the West Coast found us once again at the wonderful San Francisco Zoo. Little Baby Kabibe, the young gorilla was adorable (even while sleeping) as were the adorable six baby peccaries. This zoo holds a special place for my family and me A loud shout out to Dom Dorsa for his generosity and time. You made our visit very special.

I was not planning to go to the zoo on Friday’s very cold day but the lure of freshly fallen snow and the thought of snow leopard cubs frolicking in the snow was too much for me to resist. Enjoy their antics as well as some other familiar zoo faces in the beautiful fresh snow. If you haven’t come to see these seven month old cubs yet – now is the perfect time to catch them in all of their kitten-like friskiness.

It has been a great year for new faces, places and spaces. Thank you for coming along for the ride. I celebrate the end of my 10th year of Sunday montages, and following tradition I leave you with with no ‘ifs,’ – just ends and butts. I am also taking a look back at some of the new places that we have visited. Looking forward to more zoo-cations in 2014 and wishing you all a very Happy Zoo Year!
