A Path of Reflection: Reptile Park Outing

Last weekend I had the privilege to go to Sydney from Friday night until Sunday afternoon =D

It was awesome!

On Saturday, we had a youth / church outing to the reptile park! It was great to spend time with Becky, Jenny, Andy and Daniel, particularly - and also see other church people as well.

The guys =P Andy, Daniel and Andre

Becky and Andre

I can be perfectly happy with a gigantic spider looming behind me, if I have my man by my side. I know he's going to keep me safe :-)

We saw all sorts of weird, wacky and wonderful creatures.

Some huge python

"What you lookin' at?!"

I love the colour of this lizard!

The most wonderful man ever =D

We went to almost every show in the park's schedule during the hours that we were there. The man who ran the shows [all shows except one] was great! He had a very dry sense of humour; was very sarcastic; spoke to individuals in the crowd [aka, audience participation]; included kids in demonstrations. He made it SO worth it! And for someone like me who isn't a huge fan at ALL of reptiles, even I was looking forward to every show :-)

This guy was amazing with the reptiles!

I think probably the most amazing show was the feeding of this massive crocodile. Andre swore he's seen bigger crocs, but I thought this was still pretty cool =P

There was a film crew there to record the feeding, so we got a bit longer show than usual, apparently - they wanted more, bigger, better shots.

I love this one! Amazing!

hehehe... Felt sorry for the reptile park lady (standing on the left, holding the stick) - she was looking out for the poor cameraman, ready to pull him back, just in case. She looked stressed the whole time!
