Went to the zoo yesterday and got a few pics. Now the bigger animals are double cages, meaning they have one cage, and there's a fence that you have to stand 3 feet away (which doesn't help for good picture taking). So when no one was looking, I'd hop the first fence so I could stick my lense through the wires while hubs kept lookout. :rofl


First one is ducks! This ducky was so cute and posing just for me! :P

    Nice series of shots. I love the pose on the duck in the first pic.

    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!"

    Cosmic,

    Nice work on those ducksicles rolleyes1.gif That first one looks like a relative of the AFLAC duck :lol He's even got the cocked head look down pat....lol

    I can see the ducks being left out in the cold, but it must be tough on those big cats :uhoh (I liked that shot too thumb.gif )


    Thanks for sharing these,

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    I wish shot #1 would have come out sharper. I really don't know why it didn't, the duck wasn't that far away.. ne_nau.gif But I just had to keep it because of the expression! :P

    The cats actually really like the winter weather! :D They grow in nice winter coats, and they're much more active minus the sweltering heat.

    rolleyes1.gif @ Steve...errr the problem WAS that that we were giving them crackers... There were about a hundred of them...and two of us... :uhoh

    We had to leave as they were starting to chase us down when our supply ran dry! lol3.gif
