Stone Zoo 4/24/09

Taking pictures at a zoo can be hit or miss. Sometimes the animals are all in hiding and you can't get a good look, or they just aren't being interesting. Other times you get a great shot up close and personal.

At the time, I only had my Canon A710, but still managed to get this pretty cool shot of an elephant really close up. The NC Zoo is more like a giant nature preserve, very wide open spaces, and MILES of trails. We were exhausted by the end of the day! I'm hoping to go back again this fall, once the heat and humidity subside.

Not an exhibit, but still an animal at the zoo... Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a great mommy and baby picture, but here's Mom and Dad Giraffe... Xander loves fish. I found them to be difficult to photograph what with the glass in the way...

Birds for Stef

Took the kids and some friends to the Aviary this week. Got some birds for you! Hard to catch moving birds with a multipurpose lens while chasing a toddler... but we had a good time!
