Friday Night Photos Zoomania Edition
Submitted by Socialprogressive on Fri, 11/22/2024 - 5:00pm
Welcome to Friday Night Photos everyone. Your once a week break from the daily madness of the crazy world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music, or whatever else you find of interest that helps you escape the madness.
It's been sunny and 70s all week so I took advantage of the nice weather and went to the zoo for a few hours on Mon. and Thur. morning. It's always hit or miss on how active the animals are. Both mornings were a hit this week.
Each morning when the zoo opens they have a flyby of Macaws. This Blue and Yellow Macaw was from yesterday's flyby.

As a result of your good timing we all are able to enjoy these excellent images.
Hi, humphrey
The one animal you can count on to be active all the time are the Guianan Squirrel Monkeys. They don't sit still for any length of time. You could spend hours watching them playing and chasing each other around.
I'm great at multi-tasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at the same time.
Hi Social and all
As always, your portraits are very revealing of the interesting features of your subjects. I’m glad the weather and animal activity was accommodating. It’s our pleasure as well.
Sorry I don’t have more to contribute after such a long absence. I have been mostly in the magical world of two little girls. I am slowly re-entering reality, and happy to be back in your company.
Angles and curves ...
Be well all
Nice shots of the arches
What’s not to like about arches?

There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?
Harris is unburdened of speaking going forward.
Hi snoopy
Thank you for the nostalgic and beautiful photos from Arches.
I spent a good month camping and exploring the canyon lands of Southern Utah in 1986. My photos are all in Kodachrome sitting in a box in the cupboard.
Thank you for linking to Fred Lyon. His work is iconically West Coast in the manner of NYC contemporaries of the time.
Give Sam a hug from me.
I saw them in the 80's too
and I’m thankful that I did then because now it’s almost impossible to get in the park because of the traffic. During Covid everyone and their dawg came to Utah to see the parks. Arches has a ticket schedule now. I don’t know how it works cuz what if people don’t leave until dark?
And Zion is just as bad.
Sam is in hibernating mode now. She stays in bed most of the day and she wants to go home asap when we’re walking. Usually she follows me around after getting home until she gets her treats, but now she beelines to the bed.
Funny dawg.
Glad you had fun with your grand babies.

Nice shots of the arches, snoopy
One thing Utah is not in short supply of is fantastic landscapes.
Thanks for the link. What an incredible photographer Fred Lyon was.

That’s true
Utah has a bit of everything except the ocean. The Great Lake just doesn’t do it for me because there are no waves. I got a great picture of Sam prancing in the water. I’ll find it and post it next week.
I haven’t seen much of S Utah tho. Maybe next year. I keep saying that.

Welcome back, Janis
Glad to hear your time with family was magical. As for lack of images, quality is way more important than quantity, and as always you have presented us with all quality tonight.

What a warm and wonderful welcome back
Thank you Social.
I love the framing of the tigers

Nice shot. Maybe some day I’ll go to the SLC zoo that has been upgraded quite a lot in the last decade…maybe. I have fond memories of going there as a kid. I can still smell the monkey house.

You're not that far from the SLC Zoo. Hope you can get there soon and make some new memories.

Nope
Just about 40 minutes. I should go while kids are in school. Hopefully they changed the monkey house by now.
