Come to the Zoo

May

2007

Of course any zoo is a great zoo in my book, and I’m thankful we have one nearby. It’s small, honestly it doesn’t take more than an hour to walk through – but I kinda hang out with the critters, talk to them, study them, and of course photograph them. I can never get out of the zoo with fewer than 100 pics on my memory card.

Here are some of the better shots of the day yesterday. The T-Rex is a really cool metal sculpture that lines one of the pathways. They’re doing a lot of improvements so there are a lot of critters we couldn’t even get to, hopefully they’ll be finished soon and there will be a few new animals for me to admire over the summer.

Oh, yes, and the kids had a good time, too!

I’ve seen enough gators, thanks… :rofl:

Love the tiger, but it always makes me sad to see them caged… the color of that blue frog is amazing…

YellowRose – this is Niabi zoo, it’s just a smidgen of a fraction of Brookfield, but enough to satisfy, know what I mean?

Nancy – there are a couple I’d like to enter – the t-rex for the non-animal and the gecko for the animal shot – I don’t think they’d expect anyone to get that good a shot from behind that foggy caged glass. I love the detail in it!

Thanks for coming along!
