At the Zoo | columbia md photographer
Last week, I took my boys to North Carolina for a visit with their grandmother (and a week of superhero camp). While we were there, we visited the fabulous NC Zoo. It was hot. As expected, there were a lot of sleepy animals. Like the polar bear:

This sign was on the wall to the polar bear exhibit. They have similar signs around the park. I love the humor!

The elephants were wide awake, and moving (I guess the African animals are more used to the heat), which was amazing to watch.

After sauntering by the pond for a while, he decided to get in and go for a little swim:

A little later, his mother joined him for a quick dip too. That was really something to watch!
The giraffes were spectacular too – wide awake and strolling around their enclosure. Such graceful animals!

Despite the heat, it was a great day! We all had fun.
