Perth Zoo – Sumatran Tiger


Perth Zoo - Tiger

Quite pleased with this, considering the photo was taken through possibly the dirtiest piece of glass ever. The Tiger was intent on some point in space and was not phased by numerous people standing directly in front.

Pic taken at Perth Zoo but not one of the inmates. Apparently one of the Honeyeater family.

Perth Zoo - Tricia 2

The signs say she doesn’t stop for photo’s and that you shouldn’t touch her. However, I don’t think Tricia knows the rules. I was lucky enough to observe her stopping to say hello to these lucky folks. Possibly she was hoping that they had a snack, any how she spent quite a few minutes here before slowly moving off. A lovely moment.

Tricia, an Asian Elephant at Perth Zoo (November 2013), taking her daily constitutional. Apparently she turned 56 this year. It’s not often you can get up close and personal with an animal this size.

Karma


There I was chugging along in the early morning traffic. Stop, start, stop again, when zipping past in the bus lane goes a GEOAmey prisoner transport truck.

Well, he made it about half a mile past us to a point under traffic light control, where the bus lane comes to an end and the road merges into a single lane. Had he been driving a bus, the lights would have automatically changed and allowed him through. His undertaking manoeuver would then have gained him a bit of time. Instead he was halted by the lights and we all sailed back past him. In my rear view mirror I could see that he was stuck for quite some time.

I’d call that karma !!

Made my day I can tell you. Am I really that petty ? Yes I am when I am tired and grumpy.

I’m pretty sure that the only vehicles allowed in bus lanes are buses and taxis. Does anyone know the rules ?
