Lulu Letty: My Day at The Detroit Zoo

My Day at The Detroit Zoo

The Detroit Zoo
We started off in my favorite place, the butterfly house
The Detroit Zoo
The Detroit Zoo
The Detroit Zoo
This little girl was lucky enough to have a giant blue butterfly perch on her finger
The Detroit Zoo
Three butterflies landed on me for good luck
The Detroit Zoo
Next was to the bird house and the beauty of this little blue bird
The Detroit Zoo
The Detroit Zoo
The Detroit Zoo
I loved the canopy of flowers
The Detroit Zoo
You can tell is was a hot, humid day by my flyaway hair
The Detroit Zoo
Two sleeping Siberian tigers
The Detroit Zoo
A lovely lioness
The Detroit Zoo
What I wore-vintage dress, thrifted shirt, vintage backpack
The Detroit Zoo
A stunning bumble bee
The Detroit Zoo
And a statuesque giraffe
small bow no shadow
Overall, it was quite a splendid and hot day at the Detroit zoo.

XOXO

Oh my goodness lady, I just planned a post for next week about my trip to the zoo yesterday and the butterfly gardens as well! How crazy. You look far cuter from what I can tell than I did though ;] Aren't the butterflies amazing!

Looks like a fun day! I especially like the picture of the little girl with the butterfly. The expression on her face is priceless. :)

The color of that blue bird is awesome too!
