Sublime and Beautiful Sunday animals at the zoo

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.

For this weeks post I am at the Buttonwood Park zoo again, of recent it seems the only place I have headed to if I get out for a photo walk during the day.
But even though I wish the space for the animals was a bit larger its still a very nice little zoo the staff seem great and care very much for the well being of the animals

I have an annual membership for the zoo so I try and make the most of it and visit it now and again, I was there the other day, it was a nice day and the place was quite busy with parents taking there young kids and seeing the kids loving there time there was great, but not so great for photos, I am very careful not to take any photos with the children in them, not wanting to be called a dirty old man. I did get some nice shots of the deer i think but I havent had a chance to look at those yet, so sharing some shots from a previous visit

Starting with a white tail deer

Emily the Asian elephant at Buttonwood Park Zoo is 60 years old.
She has been at the zoo for 56 years, having arrived in 1968.
She is considered geriatric and has spent 55 of her 60 years at the zoo
She used to have company with another elephant Ruth, but she passed a year or so ago and maybe its just me but she does seem so lonely these days

Next up an Otter, there such fun to watch, the kids there the other day were having such fun watching them

Good morning, dear friend @tattoodjay

It's clear that the people who care for the animals are doing well; they look healthy.

I hope you can improve the place someday so there's more space for the animals.

What beautiful photographs.

Have a beautiful Sunday.

The poor elephant, they are social creatures so she may well be lonely. I love your zoo posts, it's always fun to see the animals. I love sea otters too, such cool animals!

Emily's photo is perfect, what a great talent you have, although my favorite in zoos will always be the otters, here in Caracas there are several and they always make me have a good time when I visit them 😅 Happy start of the week bro! 🙏
