Look what’s on our Christmas tree!

Smiley faces overload.

We have a very cheerful tree this year – teddy bears, monkeys, cats, and the owls that I made the other day – these all make us very happy.

Oh, there’s nothing like the joy of creating your own handmade decorations.

Especially if they look and smile back at you!

The Cutest Puppies

We visited my mom and dad this past weekend.

It was a very special visit because we got to see, for the first time, new little bundles of fur, otherwise known as puppies.

They are tiny Yorkshire Terriers.

Cuteness Overload

Posted on October 5, 2010 by zoomyummy | Leave a comment

It’s becoming a regular habit of mine to show you the photos that I’ve taken during our weekend trips.

So if I see the cutest monkeys over the weekend nothing in this world will stop me from showing them to you.

Nothing.

Except for a limited internet connection.

But other than that, nothing.

This time it was Zoo Győr in Hungary.

The zoo is rather small, but I’ve come to a conclusion that it’s good that way.

You get entertained from the first second on and before you know two hours of the best fun have passed.

There’s no time to get bored.

Or no time for your legs to start hurting.

Which is really great.

Monkey love.

emu

The Emu.

It was standing very close to me.

Also, it was taller than me.

For a second I thought I was going to leave without my left eye.

Or my camera.

llama

The mischievous Llama.

He’s decided to go for a stroll all by himself.

Cute… that’s probably the only thing that his caretakers didn’t have on their minds at that very moment.

They would rather have seen a fence around him.

The Llama waited for the chasing guys here and there and allowed them to approach to a distance of about two steps just to start running again.

I like Llamas with humor.

The South American Coati.

They love taking naps in the tree tops.

Just like me.

Very cute friends.

Don’t you think?

giraffes

Wow.

Who knew giraffes love cherries?

I didn’t.

Hi guys!

Want a cherry?

If by any chance you find yourself in Győr one day, now you know there’s a lot of cuteness there for you to see.

Love,

Smart Bug

Posted on September 6, 2010 by zoomyummy | Leave a comment

Camera Model: Canon EOS 1000D (EOS Rebel XS)
Lens: Tamron 60mm F2 Macro
Focal Length: 60 mm
Aperture: 3.5
Shutter Speed: 1/125
ISO: 100
Flash: None
White Balance: Auto

I love bugs.

Especially those who are mindful, understanding and cooperative.

Like this one, for example. He knew he was going to be photographed so he chose a background that was perfectly color-complementary to his own body. This grasshoppa definitely knew that his vivid green color would work gorgeously with the pink flowers.

Bravo, bug!

Bravo!

At the Zoo

Posted on July 5, 2010 by zoomyummy | Leave a comment

This is not my new pet.

This gorgeous funky/horror looking buddy is a penguin. Would you guess that?

We found and befriended him over the past weekend while visiting a very special place – the oldest zoo in the whole wide world – Zoo Vienna.

Man, was that a gorgeous trip.

I loved all the animals.

And I also loved all the popsicles I happened to eat.

By the way, do you think three is too many?

I’m actually asking whether three is too many popsicles to eat, not if three is too many animals to see in a zoo?

Well, who knows…

So, anyhow, I had three. But to my defense, it was very, very hot and we walked about 700 miles and in the end I thought I was seeing a gorilla while I was actually looking at a squirrel.
