Photo(s) of the Day: Exotic Animal Interaction

On By LindyIn photography3 Comments

A couple of days ago I posted photos of a cheetah and a giraffe from Tanganyika Wildlife Park. I had to share some photos of my husband and me at the park too, just so you could see how interactive it is! Maybe it’s just because I love animals so much, but this was one of the best times I’ve had in quite a while. The animal feedings were a bit pricey, but it was worth it for the experience. More photos to come of the animals, too.

(Although I’m posting several days worth of photos from Tanganyika, I am in no way getting paid – the opinions are strictly my own.)

Photo of the Day: Up Close and Personal

One of the best parts about Tanganyika Wildlife Park was how close we could get to the animals, like this giraffe. I love that I was close enough to see the veins in her ears!

Correction: Yesterday’s photo was a cheetah, not a leopard. I’m not sure what I was thinking when I typed that!

Photo of the Day: In Remembrance of Mr. Miles

My sister had to put her sweet cat of fourteen years to sleep yesterday. I’m not being biased when I say he was the sweetest cat I’ve ever know. I don’t even say that about my own cats. It’s so hard to lose a pet, especially when you have to make the decision about what time is best for them. Mr. Miles Smiles…you’ll be dearly missed by the entire family.

My sister’s cat Miles at 14 years old. He doesn’t look a day over 3!

Photo of the Day: Esme Enjoying Sunlight

I’m dedicating today’s photo to my cousin Maryanne, the biggest fan of cats I know. I shot this photo earlier this evening as the light streamed in our kitchen window. The only editing I did was very minor cropping. I couldn’t be happier with my luck getting this shot!

Photo(s) of the Day: I Should’ve Been A Dolphin

On By LindyIn photography, travel6 Comments

I’ve always been a fan of marine life. If I didn’t grow up in the most land-locked state in the United States, I would have been a marine biologist. Last week we got to experience Georgia Aquarium, and we even had the rare opportunity to scuba dive with whale sharks, manta rays, grouper, and other fish. A little known fact: whale sharks are the world’s largest fish. They’re known as “gentle giants” because even though they are sharks, they eat krill just like whales. Here are a few photos from our day at the aquarium.

Do you have a favorite photo below?

This tank was 6.3 million gallons – making it the largest aquarium in the world.
Despite their 15-foot wingspan, these manta rays were very people-friendly. When we dove with them, they swooped down inches above us to get a taste of our air bubbles.
This cute sea otter was part of the Cold Water Quest exhibit at Georgia Aquarium.
These bright fish originate from lakes in Africa. I used to have a small fish tank with little blue tetras just like the blue specs in this photo.
Jellyfish may be dangerous, but I find them to be beautiful. As long as I’m not swimming with them, of course.
Another dangerous beauty.
