It's been a while since I've posted, so here's a few photos I like from our trip to Houston Zoo.
After dealing with many a chilly day, we were treated to a nice mild sunny day. We decided to take advantage of it and go to the zoo.
This is a silly monkey but I forgot to take a look at the plaque. If anyone can identify him, I would appreciate it.

These guys were just hanging around, so I decided to take a shot:
The proudest meerkat I could find:

This cheetah had a powerful gaze:
A relaxing Anegada Island Iguana:
The captivating Cocodrilo Cubano:
The deadly King Cobra. He probably just wants to be left alone:
Rhinoceros Iguana. I don't see the resemblance.
Two affectionate Asian Climbing Toads. How sweet:

An adorable orangutan. They can be so expressive:
Finally, a cute bunny rabbit. He actually snuck into the zoo.

I had a lot of fun taking these but I don't get the same amount of satisfaction as when I find an animal to photograph in the wild. It just seems too easy. Doesn't mean I'm gonna stop so stay tuned for more in the future!

Hey guys!
ReplyDeleteWhat incredible photos! I know what you mean about wildlife vs zoo photography feeling "easy" but there was NOTHING easy about the shots you took! They are far from your average zoo snapshots. You have an incredible eye and are taking your shots at very creative angles - good job! The cool thing about zoos is there are animals there that you're not going to find too easily in the wild unless you make a quick trip over to Africa ;~) Which I know I'd love to do one day ...
Love to you both always ~
