Near the Cape May Point is a small pond. A beautiful duo of swans were swimming in the water. I hoped to capture a wonderful photo of their long necks regally extended, but they were intent on feeding, and this was the view they gave us.

On the way home we stopped at the Cape May Zoo.

I had never seen it so crowded. We saw an opposite image of our pond swans, black swans in one of the zoo’s pond enclosures.

The giraffes are always a favorite…

…as are the zebras. The animals have very large areas to roam and run in.

The zoo was very crowded, we had forgotten it was a holiday weekend. I wished I could fly like a peacock and set myself above the commotion.

By the time we left we felt as exhausted as this napping camel. Isn’t he/she cute?

If you are ever in the Cape May area take a few hours to visit this amazing zoo. It is a free zoo, if you would like to make a donation you can do so when you enter for parking, but it is not required.
