Isn't that the truth about zoos--they take on the job of preserving not only the animals but the botanicals, too. The variety of colors in your photos is spectacular.

I love all of the color you have captured! The 3rd photos though...for some reason even with all of its green, is my fav. I just love the interesting textury feel to it. Very neat.
