Went to the zoo yesterday and got a few pics. Now the bigger animals are double cages, meaning they have one cage, and there's a fence that you have to stand 3 feet away (which doesn't help for good picture taking). So when no one was looking, I'd hop the first fence so I could stick my lense through the wires while hubs kept lookout. :rofl


First one is ducks! This ducky was so cute and posing just for me! :P

Cosmic,

Nice work on those ducksicles :rofl That first one looks like a relative of the AFLAC duck :lol He's even got the cocked head look down pat....lol

I can see the ducks being left out in the cold, but it must be tough on those big cats :uhoh (I liked that shot too :thumb )


Thanks for sharing these,
Steve

Thanks for the comments guys.

I wish shot #1 would have come out sharper. I really don't know why it didn't, the duck wasn't that far away.. :dunno But I just had to keep it because of the expression! :P

The cats actually really like the winter weather! :D They grow in nice winter coats, and they're much more active minus the sweltering heat.

:rofl: @ Steve...errr the problem WAS that that we were giving them crackers... There were about a hundred of them...and two of us... :uhoh

We had to leave as they were starting to chase us down when our supply ran dry! :lol3
