Today was a wonderful day! My Dad brought myself and my two little sisters (Aoife and Ciara) to the Zoo! I go every Summer, it sorta become an annual thing! It rained on and off for most of the day but luckily for us, the rain held off for the three hours we were at the Zoo! All the animals were outside, having a buzz, and I got a ton of pics for you guys!
''Dublin Zoo (Irish: Zú Bhaile Átha Cliath), in Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland is the largest zoo in Ireland and one of Dublin's most popular attractions. Opened in 1831, the zoo describes its role as conservation, study, and education. Its stated mission is to work in partnership with zoos worldwide to make a significant contribution to the conservation of the endangered species on Earth.''
I used to be against zoo's, but over the past few years my view has changed on them - would you prefer the animals to be kept in a zoo but to be fed and cared for... or have them out in the wild, being hunted for their skins and meat?
My favourites have always been the sealions, penguins and lions. Unfortunately the penguins were hiding from the sun in the shade, and I only got a picture of two of them - same with the lions. Only the lioness was there, and she was fast asleep in her bed haha. The sealions were amazing though, they're actually hilarious... I also took a few random snaps of my sisters... and a few more ''mistake photos'', you guys seemed to like them the last time!
I also have a new video up - an 'I Hate..' rant.. I'll post it at the end of this!
