Not sure if the ZOO qualifies as wildlife, but I'll give it a shot. I spent the day at a company outing at the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston. Here are a few shots.

Pigmy Hippo. Waited for 15 minutes for the damned thing to yawn. Yeah ... I was roughing it.

Butterfly. The danger was everywhere.

    Cool set thumb.gif I love the zebra shots, but the giraffe shot is interesting too.

    Definitely wildlife! Love the zebra images and the hippo is very nice as well. I like the open mouth. Very unique post processing with the giraffe. I like it.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks for the comments. Greatly appreciated.
    The Giraffe post processing is something i saw in a photo mag a couple of years ago (or a similar technique). I've been looking for an opportunity to try it. I liked it, especially with that giraffe's mocking expression :D
