Mike's Other Pixtures #98


I am a pretty regular visitor to the Denver Zoo.

If you've been there you know, the first decision after entering .... is left or right.

My choice is pretty much always right .... because that's the way to the Great Apes.

Because, on any day when Mias is in the big cargo net hammock .... there was going to be a good photo op.

You had to be patient to get the pixture you wanted .... as he would only occasionally peek out one of the holes.

Which made for a nice long encounter.

Mias passed away in October .... the end of a long battle with chronic respiratory issues.

A right turn to the Great Apes will probably still be my plan .... but it might not be as much fun anymore.

Mike's Other Pixtures #96

I watched the movie Walter Mitty again just the other night.

You may remember that when Walter finally catches up with Sean O'Connell.

He is in the Afghanistan .... to photograph a Snow Leopard.

The ghost cat did appear .... but Sean did not take the pixture.

This is my ghost cat.

I didn't go to Afganistan, I went to the Denver Zoo .... but I did take the pixture.
