{{{{ SNAP }}}}...ALWAYS so glad to hear from you... Oh, boy...I bet this is a sight to see. I'd love to see it in person. I love zoos...have been to the Dallas Zoo many times but never your zoo in Houston. Now, I am off to search the universe to find as cute a blog header as YOURS. :))
I LOVE zoos!!! And how fun this one looks, particularly for the season! I would want to go back several times as well! Great captures for the day! Thanks for sharing the fun!!
That is so perfect for you, I know how much you love the zoo. I was just thinking about you last night. I was doing some art on Society6 when I stumbled upon this amazing photographer who only shoots animals. I thought of you immediately and your gorgeous work.
I love it. The Tulsa Zoo has a similar tradition that was very popular. We tried it with our son when he was about 3 with unanticipated results. He loves the Zoo and didn't get a flip about the lights, he wanted to see the animals and had a meltdown when he couldn't.
Lights depicting many of the zoos animals are located near their habitats.

Thousands of twinkling lights, lighted animal sculptures, holiday projections, carolers,
Christmas music throughout the zoo.

You can work up an appetite strolling through the zoo.
There's hot chocolate, funnel cakes, cinnamon rolls, gingerbread men,
pizza, sandwiches -- all those good holiday treats that make your mouth water!
I plan on going back several more times.
It was just too much fun!
Thank you to our hosts:
