On this, the final "Throwback Thursday" of September, 2015 (my latest 'sweeps month'), I have two more 'photo-ops' to share with you, both taken back in the 1990s - when my friend from New York City, Linda Meris Skwer, came down, and I took her to ZooMiami (which was called the Miami Metrozoo back then)...

In one of the open-air compounds, we got a close-up view of one of the giraffes. (I'd managed to take its picture with my 35mm camera.) There were also lions, tigers, zebras, and antelopes in their own separate compounds; but this snapshot was the best one of the bunch...
