Chiang Mai Zoo

For a change of pace, we headed off to the zoo for a few hours......as far as zoos go, it was pretty nice, with animals roaming in large enclosures surrounded by beautiful gardens.

 

  

From the graceful and delicate......

To the downright scary!

 

From the inquisitive and perceptive.....

To the prominent and lofty!

 

But our favourite of all was the baby panda, born in Aug 2009.

  

The keepers play with Miss Panda for 2 hours a day. She was the most popular at the Zoo with loads of school kids, everyone trying to get close and personal. I was more interested in watching the people take photos.....not sure if they actually saw the panda with their naked eye. Ever since digital cameras were invented, we seem to spend more time behind a lens than interacting with real life!
