To celebrate my husband's birthday yesterday we went to the Philadelphia Zoo. It was a nice day, warm but a bit blustery. One of my favorite animals to watch are the zebras. They're usually quite calm, munching hay or snoozing under a tree. I guess the wind and warmer temps had them feeling a bit frisky because they were putting on quite a show (click on each image for a larger, more detailed, picture) .
Chasing each other, round and round their pen...
Biting legs and necks...
Bucking and rearing...
I just want to thank everyone for their kind comments about losing my Grandparents. It really means a lot to me. It will be a hard week.
Getting lost on the internet is my great escape today.

Love zebras too, wonderful pictures. I didn't realize about your grandparents... I'm sorry and will be remembering you this week.
The zebras are beautiful. Thanks for the nice comment on my blog today. I will be thinking of you, I didn't realize the last post was about your grandparents---hugs!
The zebras look like they were a riot to watch. So sorry for your loss.
gorgeous photos :D Its so neat seeing the back of the Zebra where the stripes meet up, don't see it very often
Your pictures are wonderful! So sorry to hear of your loss...you're in my prayers.
Such pretty animals. I love that first photo. I had a pony whose mane stood up like that (maybe he was part zebra!) Sorry about your grandparents.
They play like mules!! I saw some mules at the Grand Canyon playing like that once! What fun! :)
Great photos especially the first one, such character, I bet it would make agreat painting for you;o)
You have a real photographic knack. I enjoy your posts terrifically.

PS. Keep forgetting to tell you...my friend who I bought your horse pendant for absolutely LOVED it! She was quite overwhelmed :) So thank you for making such beautiful pendants!
What great photos! They are so beautiful! Makes me feel like going to the zoo.
Zebras are my favorite animal! These pictures are gorgeous, thank you so much for sharing. The zebras at our zoo are not nearly as active!
About your grandparents, I'm sorry for your loss, you will be in my thoughts.

love zebs great photographs
Those are some awesome photos. It's quite a treat to be able to observe some real normal and natural behaviors like that.
You photos and work is truly amazing. I feature some zebra designs on my mule and donkey site, by various artist, and would love to have some of your zebras there. I'll be searching now for them on CP and Z to see if they are available.
Great work!
Just a P.S. ...
I do have your cute mule baby featured at my longears site, and have posted about it on the blog.
Thank you for such beautiful artwork. I see in looking around, I will be going back to get some of your draft horse merchandise to feature as well.
