Galápagos tortoise are amazing animals. I love watching them. I once lived near a place that raised Giant African tortoise's and I used to go there often to see them.
Love the Flamingos as well.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Great shots Leona - love the colour of your Flamingos - ours are more pink here. The 2nd and 3rd shots are the best I think. Visits to zoos are always worthwhile. Well done. Cheers, Bernz

Lovely set Leona, I like the close-up of the Galapagos tortoise and the colours of the flamingos.
