METRO DETROIT; An April Sunday at the Zoo

We've been on a mission of the past three weeks to head back to the Detroit Zoo - but one thing or another - being ill and the weather stopped us from ever getting there until last Sunday when we made our trip there our "date" of the week. It's been over a year since our last visit, which is pretty bad considering it's like a couple of miles from where we live, so this time we brought zoo membership for the next year - yey for being able to visit lots! Detroit is a great sized zoo and while it's not on the scale of say London or Edinburgh, there's a good assortment of animals you don't feel like you have to rush around to see everything, nor do your feet start to ache mid way around.

A couple of the animals were still off exhibit due to the colder then normal spring like temperatures but the majority were out and about - the Rhino's were certainly making the most of the warmer spring day with their playful headbutting while the lions and tigers were just doing what your typical feline friend will be doing - sleeping. The grounds were filled with daffodils and blue bells yet the trees are still bare of their leaves, they've opened a new walk way over ponds and the otters are getting a new home built. But like last time, the polar bears were hiding.

Hope you have a great weekend everyone, hopefully we get out as the spring sunny days seen to have returned in time, plus there looks to be some great estate sales in our neck of the woods tomorrow, so looking forward to being able to grab some vintage treasures!
