My poor camera has been neglected this week as, after much effort on her part, Freya finally infected me with her germs.
As a result, this week’s My Sunday Photo is from a recent trip to Banham Zoo. It was pretty cold but otherwise a clear day and we virtually had the place to ourselves. You might remember that last year I fell in love with a ring-tailed lemur (at the sister zoo, Africa Alive) but on this visit it was all about the red-ruffed lemur (I’m so fickle).
I also got to hold a millipede, which I was VERY excited about – probably more excited than Freya who took it in her stride.
I hope you’ve had a happy (and healthy) week.

I was ridiculously excited, so pleased there weren’t more children there to spoil my fun. Hehe.

Wow, fabulous close-up of the millipede! Sorry to hear you’ve picked up the germs! I’ve partially picked up my daughter’s too – I’m coughing, but not actually ill (although my husband keeps telling me I’m ill!).

Sorry to hear you are poorly too, I hope you feel better soon. It feels like Freya’s had a cold forever so I guess I was bound to get it.

Yuck those little legs crawling all over you! It looks so amazing though you just have to marvel at their engineering even if they are a bit creepy! #mysundayphoto

Hi Tara, I think there should be somewhere we could quarantine our sick children! I remember the photos you shared before of the lemur that stole your heart. They are such quirky looking creatures. I’m not sure I’d have got excited about holding a millipede, We do get quite large ones here, and I have never got that urge to pick them up with my bare hands. I do however love the detail in your photos, from the fur on the lemur’s ear to the legs and shell (?) of the millipede.

That lemur is cute. You’re braver than I am with holding the millipede – just looking at it made me shudder! Jessica quite likes holding creepy-crawlies though. She loved getting to hold a millipede at an event last year 🙂

It was honestly really lovely to hold, very gentle. I’m not generally a fan.
