197/365 Zoo

Baby A's first trip to the zoo.  We didn't have a long time to spend, but it was fun.  I also have not been since getting my big camera, so I had a lot of fun taking photos of the animals and the weather was beautiful...not too hot, not too cold, which made the animals more interactive.  This is a large share, but I was excited for this outing and for the first day in at least a week without rain.




Pushed the limits on my gear with this one...f2, 1/500sec, ISO 12800

The komodo dragons are new this spring.




I think this guy is happy with his new home at our zoo.haha.



Little field mice were in the Amazon rain forest building.  I don't think they are wanted visitors, but they were really brave and I was able to get quite close.  As close as I cared to, in fact.


 Baby A on the way home...he plays with his hair when he gets tired...just like his mama.

  1. Great low light shots in the first few pictures. Low light is so tricky and you did a great job! I have to say that the last one is my favorite...I love his little cute hand holding his hair. I'm sure he was worn out from the day. My kids always play with their hair (or mine) when they are tired. :)

  5. These are just super. I love the black and whites, and the one of his reflection with the little hand in the hair.
