A Day at the Zoo

One of the things on my "bucket list" was a visit

to the Bronx Zoo. I got to mark it off during my

recent trip to NYC. I took all my camera equipment

in case I got to go. It is quite hard to pack all the

lenses, etc. They probably think they are bombs

in my luggage! Anyway, I rode the subway all the

way to the Bronx, and spent the day taking photos

of the wonderful animals and birds.

The snow leopard was exquisite. There aren't very

many of these in zoos, and I was lucky he was awake

and alert. It was almost like he posed for me.

The polar bear came right up to the edge of his enclosure.

He was probably very hot..it was a warm sunny day.

I really think he was watching for the zoo keeper who

had his lunch for the day.

There must have been "peacock love" in the air...for all

the males were stutting their beautiful plumes all over the

zoo.

Stay tuned for a few more in the next couple of days.
