Zoo Day

It was a great day to be at the zoo. Not too hot, Not too cold. It was pretty much perfect. We walked for about 5 hours before we headed home. Didn't get very good pics of the monkey's and apes but they were not in picture friendly locations. These are just a sample of some of the pics I got of the animals. Definitely LOVE the 70-300 lens as it lets me get up close and personal with these amazing creatures. We will definitely have to make a return trip.

Cat Napping
Picture Worthy Pose
The Snow Leopard was a bit tired
Camels are super ugly but still cool to look at
Its easier to photograph a giraffe if you cut off its body, but I did get a few full body shots too.
Just a neat bird of some sort...I forgot to look at the sign
Tyson being a stinker not wanting his picture taken with sissy
Somali Wild Ass (the name on the sign)
He doesn't look very friendly even when he's asleep
Goofy boy again. Wouldn't let me take his picture unless he got to hold his cup. He's usually all about getting in the pictures.
Taylor Loves the Zoo
....and she really loves penguins!
He looks like he wants to fly
Taylor and a snake as we entered the Elephant area...Notice the Pink Penguin she had to have when we left the penguin house.
Not a very hungry Hippo at the moment. It was rather lazy.
Practically Posing
Baby Elephant. There were two!
Overall a great visit, but a bit of a lazy day for A Lot of the animals. We are hoping to catch a sea lion show next time.
