Denver, Colorado

I completely forgot to take a photo for the Denver hotel art, maybe because I was so overjoyed at actually having some sunshine after 4 days of driving in the pouring rain. It was weird because the moment I crossed the Colorado border from Kansas the sun seemed to break through. Driving into Denver you could see the amazing mountains which circle the city.






Had a 'stop over day' in Denver because back in Hays I managed to pull a muscle in my neck so it's been uncomfortable to drive (and even as I type this 5 or so days later it's still hurting). So after a good nights sleep I headed to the Denver Zoo for a walk around in the sunshine. Apparently the Denver Zoo is the 4th most visited zoo in America. And of course there are a crapload of photos in this post so bear with me :)






awwwwww sleepy

this cat almost looks stuffed, but it's alive I assure you


this is the clearest pic of the leopard that I could get because it was pacing and I could not get a good shot of it



ALL of my giraffe pics are of their butts. I would have a great shot lined up and then when my camera was ready they'd turn their backs on me... so here's a great shot of a giraffe's butt.






a small bit of Oz - a shingleback lizard!


this guy was watching my every move, when I moved to the left, he'd move with me... glad there was glass between us!




Dory and Nemo!!

More Dory and Nemo - I was so impressed with this exhibit. Really neat :)







I think this Komodo Dragon wanted me for lunch.... He had that look in his eye....

And this guy just looked like a mini dinosaur of some sort



awwww cuuuuuute :)







This bear cracked me up, it was just sitting there in it's little hole, all comfy





these sculptures were at the entrance of the zoo, pretty neat!
