Images from the Zoo *New pics post 20*

A little while ago I went to our local zoo. Craig from PT went too, I think his pictures turned out better so hopefully he'll post them. I have a bunch of other photos but I haven't gone through them all yet so I figured I'd at least post these. Sorry there are so many, I'm bad at just choosing a few.

Your photos are great. I love going to the zoo and trying to get lots of great pictures. Thanks for sharing your trip to the zoo with us.

Aw, I love the red panda and the numbat thingy and all the wild kitties. :D

Those are awesome pics! I wish mine would turn out that well when I have gone to the zoo:o I love the red panda too, and the croc (I think, maybe alligator) is gorgeous!

Stunning photos Amy! :D

great pics!
Can't wait to see Craig's:) :)!!!

Wow, Amy! ;)

Those are some really GREAT snappies!
Most of them appear to be so close that you could have touched the critter
with the hand not holding the camera.

The one with the reflection of you shooting the camera is an interesting study.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

I loved them all and I thought they all came out great.:) I don't think you can take a bad picture.;)

Excellent pictures!

Great pics Amy! My favorite has to be the wolves! I saw wolves at the Cleveland Zoo, which was the main reason I went.;) Thanks for sharing!:)

Great pictures Amy!
My favs are the ones of the wolves!

Wow, those are great, Amy! Oh, Craig, where are yours? I am sure his are wonderful too but better? I'm more into monkeys than wolves but I loved ALL of them.

Those are great amy!
i ADORE the red panda.
Such a cutie.
Craig hopefully better post his to see!

Gorgeous photos, Amy. You are a talented photographer! :cool:
There are so many really great ones, I can't pic just one favorite.:)

Fantastic pictures. Lots of these animals, birds, I've never seen before, interesting. Thanks for posting.

I had a great time in Utah and one of the really fun spots was the Hogle Zoo. Rather than a new thread I'll just hijack, bump, borrow Amy's great picture thread to post some more zoo images. I haven't had time to go through any, so they're pretty bad, unedited, and auto-resized by photobucket:

What wonderful shots you both got! One of the crocodiles looks like he's laughing. :D I love he kitty shots... oh, and all of them! :)

Thanks for sharing!

Fabulous pics (even Mr Snake :eek:)

Those are wonderful photos! I have to ask, what lens did you use? The quality is just amazing! :D

Your photos are wonderful - both of you!

Some of the photos are just crying for captions................:D

"pretty bad" my foot!
those are fabulous!
I love all of them!
Great job! :D

I'm glad that everyone else gets to enjoy a little bit of this zoo. They really are fun places to go and there's no lack of photo opportunities.

The lens that I shot all of my pictures with is a Pentax 50-200/4.0-5.6 DA. I think I may be alone in the Pentax DSLR group, but the body I use is a K10D.

The picture (the fourth one) of the grumpy reddish colored ape/monkey made me laugh! Looks like a lot of people I know!

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed them!

Craig, yours turned out great, especially the Lynx close-up and the snake!
