Another day another animal park! 🙂 This time it was the fabulous Blackpool Zoo!
Bob is very lucky to have Grandparents living in Blackpool as there is always lots to do when we go to visit. I have been to Blackpool Zoo before with my parents but this was my husband and Bob’s first time.
We had a lovely day! Below are some photos from our visit.
Getting a closer look at my favourite animals from Giraffe Heights.
Monkey Business
A Tiger having a wee! Oh dear me!
Enjoying the sea lion show.
The biggest pelicans that I have ever seen!
…and because no animal park visit would be complete without Bob seeing a goat!
I also thought that I had captured an award winning photo but reflections let me down! We realised that my Dad looked like the Emporer Monkeys and we wanted to take a photograph of him standing next to one. Just at the right moment the monkey walked up to my Dad and posed for the photograph! Unfortunately there was lots of glare and reflections on the glass, even though I didn’t have my flash on. Anyone know if there is a way to stop this?
My Fun Photo Favourite from last week was by Laurie at Pride In Photos. Her post was also about a zoo and she had managed to capture some fabulous close ups of the animals! See got so close to a lioness that I was scared for her safety! Pop over to her blog to see her fabulous post!
As a reward Laurie can share her secret of lion photography. Is there a special suit you can wear? 😉 She can also display the Fun Photo Favourite badge if she wishes.

Have a fantabulosa week 🙂
I love the giraffe shots! We fed them a few years ago. My daughter freaked out because their tongues are so long, and when he took the carrot it wrapped around her wrist lol.
I love them but I think that would freak me out too! :0) x
The very last shot if frame worthy.

Great shots of animals at the zoo! Thanks for hosting and Happy WW!
This did make me laugh, especially the tiger having a wee (so immature, hahaha)! Looks an amazing day out. Bet Bob had exotic dreams that night! x
We have now returned home and all she keeps saying is, ‘Momar, Grangran, BUS!’ We take her to the zoo and her highlight is the bus! :0) x
We love Blackpool zoo, I think we might be due another visit!!
Great photos! I particularly love giraffes!
The picture of your dad would have been fun. He is very nice looking!! Thanks for hosting
What awesome close ups you got!!!
You got amazing shots, as usual! Now I want to go to a zoo or an animal park! 🙂
Nice collection of animals. Great day at the zoo. I think you started with my favorites, the giraffes.
I love the sea lions, they are great.
Looks like such a fun time! My kids would just love that zoo! 🙂
The animals are fun to see, great shots.
Love the giraffe shots! Looks like a fun visit to the zoo!
Lovely photos, even tigers need a wee!!! Was that the zoo in Blackpool Tower? I’ve never been to it (I’m from Southport!) but everyone tells me it’s worth a visit. Happy WW 🙂
No it’s near Stanley Park. There isn’t a zoo in the tower anymore. There’s a circus. x
Great shots! My boys love going to the zoo, too!
Such lovely photos
I can’t believe you were able to get such GREAT shots! Looks like a good time was had. 🙂
What excellent pics. Make me feel like taking the kiddos soon.
What beautiful photos! Glad you all had fun at the zoo. I liked the tiger especially!
such a wonderful array of photos from your trip to the zoo. i really like the giraffe and tiger ones although the seal ones are great too seeing it perform . Bob seems very happy with her cow ride too lol x
That is really up close with the animals. Some wonderful shots there but poor Dad being the Emperors Monkey, though the tash likeness is funny!
He’s used to it! :0) x
