Sunday FUNday in Milwaukee

12.5.2024 by Michelle Rippey

It’s Sunday FUNday, so here’s a mix of Milwaukee Zoo pics from the week that was. It’s a beautiful weather day, so get out there and enjoy it. The Nature is an absolutely beautiful choice right now. Saw orioles, bluebirds and many other migrating birds during my visit. Have an amazing FUNday!

Leading off with male caribou Bean & his antler growth. Fyi….they can grow up to an inch a day. Here comes, Bean!!

  1. Dear Michelle!
    Thanks for this lovely tour on a spring day at the Milwaukee Zoo. The animals are enjoying the great weather, each in their own way, but all seem chilled out. There’s something cosy about the bears and I’m a little envious of the hammock….

    Hugs
    Anke

    Lieber Jens!
    Ein großes Dankeschön für die anrührenden Fotos von unserer Mücke und ihrem Töchterchen Soraya! Was für eine schöne Überraschung! Ich habe mich oft gefragt, wie es ihr wohl geht und bin jetzt ein bisschen beruhigt. Sie hat schon in Berlin bewiesen, dass sie eine liebevolle und fürsorgliche Mutter ist. Ich vermisse sie.

    Liebe Grüße
    Anke

    • Das stimmt absolut.

      Ich wünsche Dir einen schönen Abend.

      Wer weiß, vielleicht gibt es sogar bald ein Foto von Lloyd und ? Fiete? zu sehen.

      Liebe Grüße Jens
