A friend in Saint Paul, MN asked me if I had seen the meerkats in Roundhay Park, Leeds. I had to confess, they were news to me, I had not visted Tropical World set in Roundhay Park in many years.
So I visted the park and took some photographs of my visit for the Leeds photo daily, including the photo shown above. The meerkats are behind a perspex? screen, so the photo is not as clear as most of the photography on this blog.
This is a picture of the building that houses Tropical World, home to the Meerkats of Leeds.
There are Butterflies, Meerkats, Parrots, Iguanas, Lemurs and even a variety of crocodile within this building.
Yesterday I finally caught up with the Leeds Roller Dolls who were hosts to the Birmingham Blitz Dames here in Leeds at the Sports Hall, Leeds University. I had no real idea what to expect my only experience of roller derby being a viewing of the movie Whip It. It was faster than I thought and Leeds Roller Dolls were gracious hosts. When I have sorted through the photographs I took, I shall post several here on the Leeds Daily Photo.
Picture of Roundhay Park lake, Leeds.
This photograph shows the boathouse and the cafe on the Waterloo lake at Roundhay Park, Leeds. I took this when I last visited the park perhaps 3 weeks back one sunny afternoon.
