the zoo

[low_delta]

Our annual trip to the Milwaukee County Zoo. This time, without kids. And in the evening. It was my company picnic, so there was free food.


Hot mama.


The whole day was filled with photographic fail. It started out with hummingbird fail in my garden, and ended with carousel fail. Since it was evening at the zoo, the light was too dim. In this case, the background was great, but the flamingos were in shadow.








Almost the only decent shot I got of the carousel, and it's front focused.

Here's the other decent one...

Ummm...photographic fail?
I don't see any fail here.
:)
I love the elk (or whatever they are) in the flowers!

Off topic...we spent all that time out west and south and never once saw an elk.

You probably saw hundreds of white tail deer, but you need to know how to spot them.
They blend in really really well.

I'm a good deer spotter and we did see a few but it was elk we were looking for. We did see the condors flying at the Grand Canyon and that was a thrill!

I probably mentioned that I went to three places that had condors, but saw none. So it's pretty awesome that you saw some. At Zion, before I knew that had them, I saw a vulture, but I wasn't watching for condors, so I don't know if it was one or not. Pretty sure not, though.

None of these photos are all that great, flaws are listed, but they were the best of the bunch. Total failure with the hummingbird.
