I saw this lovely coiled yellow snake at the zoo. It was behind the glass so I wasn’t afraid to take a closer look.

Yohan loves these white fluffy little ones with cute pinkish ears.  They are not ours though. We saw these bunnies during our visit to Residence Inn Zoo.

I’ve only seen Old English Sheepdogs on movies and pictures. I find them so adorable. Their fluffy coats make them look so irresistible to hug just like this cute critter. Too bad it’s not real.

I’m sorry I missed a couple of CC.  I’m glad to be back.  Here’s a picture of my soon admiring the beautiful Japanese koi swimming in the pond.

This is Obie, the new dog of my BIL. The previous owner didn’t have time to take care of him properly so she decided to give Obie to my BIL.  I’m sure this time Obie will get the chance to have the love and affection he deserves.

This photo is courtesy of my friend, Siony. She was on her way to the beach a few weeks ago when she saw this cow by the road. I mentioned this meme to her before and how I need to come up with a critter photo every week.  When she saw the cow by the road, she remembered me and didn’t hesitate to go down from the vehicle just to take this shot.  It’s amusing how the cow turned as if to pose for her.

This photo is courtesy of my SIL, Chona.  Scorpions are intimidating eight legged arachnids.  Fortunately, I’ve never encountered one in the wild.

My friend, Siony and I were waiting for the bookstore to open when we saw this lovely moth resting nearby. Please pardon the quality of the picture. I like the moth’s green color. I don’t often see this kind of moth so it was a treat to chance upon one.

This is the same elephant that I loved visiting at the zoo when I was a young girl.  Now it’s my son’s turn to appreciate this beautiful animal.

I’ve been seeing this butterfly in our garden for three days now. I was able to get close enough to take a picture of it yesterday.  I admire how strong and determined it seems despite its tattered wings.
