When I was a kid, I wished I was a zoo-keeper.
Yesterday I went on an excursion with work and a part of me wondered (ever so briefly) if I had another career change in me at this grand old age.
I don't !
Funnily enough today when we went through the photos, I had about 120 of animals and one flower. Someone else seemed to have hundreds of flowers with the occasionally animal leg in the way !

Master 8 is going to have a fit when he sees the top photo!! It's a great day out isn't it. I went last year with all the grade 2's and had a ball.
loving the zebra butts...too cute...
i think when i was little i wanted to be a truck driver!!!so glad i didn't go down that path...i can't imagine me in all my crocheted vintage glory climbing up in a cab of a mac truck...
lol...
Nice photos. I do love the giraffe. Wish we had a zoo nearby that we could visit.
my daughter almost fell over when we found out the Melbourne zoo had meerkats! we didn't find out till we were standing there in the zoo grounds! she wants to be a vet, we'll see how she goes! those meerkats are sooo adorable!
If only we all had bottoms as decorative as those zebra bottoms. *sigh* Lovely pictures. x
hmmmm.. pictures of flowers only in the zoo...mmmmm. nope. Think I need another clue!
The Mr and I often have a work-related 'Zoo' or 'animal' job on. As a result our kids have become a veritable database for animal facts and figures and we have three zookeepers in waiting. Latest favourite fact: Did you know a baby koala eats its mother’s poo at birth? (great for sorting the bacteria/digestion thing. Apparently).
Can't believe I just left a koala poo comment on your blog - my apologies!
Gorgeous photos..I love the Zebra. I also wanted to be a zoo keeper when I was a child...and a marine biologist, police woman, historian - the list is endless. What am I now...live in cleaner, cooker and nappy changer. Lovely
Thanks Jodie, I couldn't have done the day without you and your photos are fabulous!! What different eyes we have.
Beautiful animals!! They are so great. Can't wait till I can take the kids to a zoo!! Looks like you had a great time checking out all the animals!!
Now I wonder who took all those flower photos ;o) As for the career change - don't do it! You'd be too tired and stinky by the end of the day to dream up beautiful designs for us - then again you may start evolving new animal patterns to go with your monkeys and elephants so maybe it's a good idea after all!

What a great day at the office you had-love the photos and I think you and Ms Flowergarden make a great team-flora and fauna-no wonder you hang out together!
Surely working in a primary school library is a lot like being a zoo keeper a lot of the time! Love the photos - especially the giraffe and the meerkats.
Fancy that with the photos - were there any of cactus?
Not sure I could hack it as a zoo keeper, a lot of mouths to feed. Love the photos though!
Hahaha -- I was going to comment and ask if you'd seen Annie's post -- it appeared right before yours in my reader and your titles cracked me up. "A day at the zoo" and "A day at the office"....for some of us they are the same place all the time.
Beautiful photos, my favourite is the zebra bums- they are so brave I would never wear horizontal stripes on my bum. As a kid I wanted to wear librarian clothes, not be a librarian, just wear the clothes, and I wanted to be a vet not a great combination. I am neither a vet nor do I wear a smart little two piece suit.
Are we to see meerkat softies..? Oh, go on... dooooooo..... you KNOW you want to!!
I want fabric with the Zebra bum pattern. I don't know what I want to make but I want the fabric. Great photos.
Fabulous pics - Love the meerkat one - it reminded me of NiftyKnits gorgeous little meerkats - go take a look!!!

When I was a kid I loved the idea of being a zoo keeper too. So in 1983 I trotted off to do my work experience at the Melbourne Zoo. It was fascinating and exhilarating. And oh my giddy aunt ... bloody hard work! So I went off and became a teacher instead :)
Love your photos.
I always wanted to be a zoo keeper too (secretly still do). Then I had kids and now I have my own zoo. Sometimes I think I prefer the zoo animals to my own teenage ferals.... but then I see them asleep at night and some mothering instinct takes over and... well, the zoo keeper thing remains a dream. LOL

Better photos than Annie's giraffe butt. LOL!
But you still have zebra butts, what is it with you girls and butts?????
Very funny xx
Wow, you're a fantastic photographer!
Animals are usually really hard to get, and you did an amazing job.
I'm specially loving the zebra butts!
Like everyone else, love the tail end of the zebras. You and Annie are fun field trip chaperones!
Meerkats! I love them.
Nothing funnier than those little guys up on their back legs.
Love the snaps ... I still have an inkling to be a wild life photographer but I think I have left my run to late. Perhaps we could go into business together you could be the zoo keeper and I could be the photographer LOL.
