Below the nearly extinct baby Gibbon born eight weeks ago (check out the link, their pictures and the story are wonderfully inspiring).....
There is no other animal in the zoo that is more suited to a black and white shot. So here's the question, are zebras black with white stripes or white with black stripes? According to Wiki they are black with white stripes, I'm not so sure, looking at this image below I would doubt that theory, et vous? Hope your weekend is full of colour, take care and stay safe.....
Lorikeets are such striking birds!
ReplyDeleteI can't recall if I've ever seen a gibbon in a zoo, but I have zebras. I'd love to see zebras in the wild.
Your eye, therefore your shots, have a wonderful 'take' on life-
ReplyDeleteYours!

A nice little tour of the zoo for us, Grace!
ReplyDeleteBird of Paradise, Rainbow Lorikeets, gibbons, zebras, and, oh, yes, spammerus annoyingus anonymous--which, unfortunately, will never be extinct....
ReplyDeleteAs always, beautiful photos, Grace!
The colours are amazing. I've always been fond of zebras for some reason. So you've just made my day!!!
ReplyDeleteI love all the shots but mostly the Bird of Paradise.
ReplyDeleteLove the zebras!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, white with black stripes. Lorikeets have got to be the most colorful bird around and to think they just fly around wild where you are.
ReplyDeleteA fine series, Grace. I hope you didn't take photos yesterday because you were occupied by something more fun.
ReplyDeleteI like the zebras ...
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
ReplyDeleteStay safe outside the zebra legs !!!

Si c'est noir avec des rayures blanches ! le pinceaux du peintre devait être bien large.
ReplyDeleteAre zebra markings actually pigmentation? I love the photos, especially as I have a soft spot for Bird of Paradise plants.
ReplyDeleteTo me this looks exotic and we don`t have any of this here up in the north!
ReplyDeleteNice posting.
Fantastic photos! I especially love the colorful Bird of Paradise and Rainbow Lorikeet.
ReplyDeleteTerrific photos Grace - what a treat for the eyes.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week ahead. :)
The lorikeets are so beautiful as the gibons are too. It is always nice to see them having youngsters.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine photo selection, Grace! The zebra shot is so cool.
ReplyDeleteI just learned something new! I didn't know the bird of paradise were indigenous to Australia! I have always believed they came from Hawaii!
ReplyDeleteYes, the zebra is perfect for monochrome!
Got Stripes!
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes to white with black stripes.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought white with black stripes!!!
ReplyDeleteRandom shots are good!!!
These are beautiful 'randoms'! Love the ultra-vivid colour and, you know, I always thought white with black stripes myself:)
ReplyDeleteThis post is light to my heart, so special images, thanks so much for sharing!
