Tim’s Ramblings

Took a day off on Monday and went to the Zoo with a friend of mine for the first time in probably 10 years! It was a really beautiful day outside and we had a great time. And of course I brought my camera along so I took lots and lots of pics.

Unfortunately many of the shots didn’t come out so well… Anima photography is hard!! Like I told a coworker today, no matter how well you take shots of animals, 99.9% of the time, any shot that turns out well will either look not much different from a photo in a children’s animal book or at the very very best National Geographic. But ultimately, most will have children in them, something like a car or something in the background, or some part that’s blurry because they moved, or any other sort of flaw…

But whatever. I still had fun and a few DID turn out well so here you go! Each one is linked to one slightly larger (something close to 1024×768). Click on the like below to see the rest!

First we’ll start off with the one that turned out really nice.

We’ll just go with favorites first and then down the line.

I like to call his next one “Mmmm…LUNCH!”

The baby koala refused to come out from behind the leaves it was muching on.

You’re at the zoo! Gotta at least see some monkeys. Though some people, like M who I was with, has an unnatural facination… :)

There are some days that I wish I could be reincarnated as one of these…just utterly lazy…so lazy moss starts to grow on you…mmmmmmmmm….

The lemurs were all sleeping. Maybe you had to be there but they were really cute.

You’re at the zoo! Alongside monkeys, you gotta see the elephants!

And the rhinos of course (though a lady next to me was teaching her daughter that they were hippos…I fear for our future…for godsakes…)

An action shot of a green monitor lizard!

There were some real pretty flowers there too so I took some shots of them as well.

Hope you liked them!
