Even on an overcast morning, this lake and garden located within the #melbournezoo is divine.

We even had a couple of little visitors paddle up for a ‘good morning’ visit!

The #melbournezoo is a must visit - and so too the lions!

They’re gorgeous.

I have mixed feelings about animals kept in captivity but the enclosures and conditions (feeding methods, living and downtime / care) here are meticulously planned and delivered to each animal it seems.

Many animals are on the endangered species list due to many ‘human’ reasons, breeding programs and conservation here are a prime focus we were advised.

Observing the behaviour of these lions closely tells me they’re living a pretty good life. You can see it in their demeanour - and their eyes.

During our recent zoo visit we saw wild (well, um… resident!!) #RainbowLorikeets - aren’t they just gorgeous?

We were there before opening time as we did a ’glamping’ overnight stay and the zoo keepers feed them first thing in the morning, in their accustomed hang-out place.

So the timing was perfect for some colourful and playful snaps!

Hope you enjoy.

The #butterfly enclosure at #Melbournezoo #Australia houses over 500 of these gorgeous creatures living their best life.

Most were exotic, colourful and just beautiful.

This was only but one of around an estimated 500 in the enclosure at this time.

They’re majestic animals… this was displayed at the bend near the enclosure.

A load of #Rainbowlorikeets were feeding at the #Melbournezoo #Parkville #Australia this morning.

They were at ground level and close to the main path. They had no care in the world apart filling up their bellies and posing for shots!

There were at least a dozen taking turns at the feeder.

So colourful and vocal.

Was magic. 👏👏

Heading into the #gorilla display you walk through such a cool #bambooforest.

Up bright and early.

Beautiful #japanesegarden at the #MelbourneZoo - overcast but we have the place to ourselves, prior to the school holiday crowds descend.

So serene. 🙌
