But we had a good time. Ranking high in our favorites is the wolves. They get a bit more of our attention thatn the other animals. Today we got to talk to the keeper of the wolves and learned that the wolves that they have currently are expected to have pups in the fall. The two that they have are 2 of 50 in the nation. They are very very close to exstinction. So they are excited to have some pups and they will be released into the wild as soon as they can be pulled from the parents.
Here are a few that have been processed from today....

    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 Everyone....Seems the shakeing polar bear is the favorite. I ordered a very large print of the first one from smugmug for my wife. She really loves the wolves. Cant wait to get it.

    Oh if only I could sit in that snow or ice. It was 100 degrees here today. The wolves are very nice and I like the pose of the sea lion. That first polar bear shot is good as well. You really stopped the action well. Nice captures. thumb.gif
