Zoo Time

Some photos from a couple of zoos we visited on our road trip - Idaho Falls (small) and Portland (large).

I'm a fan of tortoises and this Aldabra African Tortoise was a big one.

Such a pretty cat.

The thinker.

Ring-tailed Lemur

Demoiselle Crane ?

Amazing color!

Hyacinth Macaw

I like walk in aviaries because you can take photos without dealing with cages. But this one was so hot and humid that it took forever to defog my camera enough to take photos. And even then it was very low light.

Habada Ibis (Africa)

Spur-winged Lapwing

Emerald Starling (Africa)

Black Rhinoceros

Breakfast!

Southern Ground Hornbill (Africa)

Bontebok (Africa)

I like taking portraits, just not of people :-)

Zoos have their pros and cons but they always remind me of the amazing diversity of life on our planet. I pray that we don't destroy it all.

See all the photos in this batch
