Another Visit to the Wild Animal Sanctuary

Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keensburg with our friends Gail and Mick. It was a perfect afternoon for a visit, sunny and a bit cool. The animals had been fed just prior to our arrival and some were eating while we were there, but most were just enjoying the sunshine and a beautiful autumn day.

We did see animals other than tigers, but most are further away and more difficult to photograph. Here are two pictures I did manage:

Romeo, a beautiful mountain lion

leopard

And of course, we had a wonderful time watching the animals and enjoying the day:

this sign at a Colorado truckstop was full of birds coming and going


I think most of them were starlings already sporting their spotted winter plumage









My new camera does a great job taking pictures from a moving vehicle, as these pictures illustrate
