J and I have a family pass to our local zoo, and I never tire of getting pictures there. The last week of March, a group of moms and kids from our church all met at the zoo for a couple of hours, these are the best or most interesting shots of the day.
The group of kids (minus two) and three of the four strollers.
These boys are all within a year and a half of each other, so much fun!
There are two aviaries, one is the Australian Aviary, which is basically open cages, the other is the Rainforest Aviary which is my favorite and has a waterfall and various species of birds, some reptiles, and has a hothouse attached with tropical creatures such as the poison dart frog (which, incidently, isn’t poisonous unless it eats ants which eat a poisonous plant). The macaw above has the most gorgeous plumage; when he’s not backlit, his green is iridescent.
This Orangutan was finally close enough to the enclosure fence that I could get a decent shot from my 24-70mm f/2.8.
I took the above shot, then she looked at me and I was able to capture the shot below.
Our pastor’s middle son, who was looking at my camera, so I shot from the hip and caught this.
B and our dear friend, Jessica, who had come with us.
I finally got a shot of a red wolf. The last five times I’ve gone to the zoo, the wolves have been in their den.
This time, two were sunning themselves.
