S.F. Zoo

OK, this blog has been used for the sole purpose of my Photography class up until this point, but now that the semester is over I think I'm going to keep this one going rather than start a new blog altogether. It will probably end up with a lot of pictures though!

So .. Saturday was a fun day with Karolina! It's so sad, we don't get to see each other as much now that she's not working at Target anymore. We were talking about going to San Francisco and we narrowed our choices down and decided to either do Pier 39 or the S.F. Zoo. We ended up going to the Zoo since we did Pier 39 last time and it's been ages since either of us have gone.

In true San Francisco fashion it was cold and windy! My poor little fingers could barely hold my camera steady five minutes in!!

Karolina right before we started off our day on an African safari!

I lost my headband in the hood of my sweater like an idiot.

Look who grew a set of antlers!! It was great, they have tons of these boards up around the Zoo where you can turn yourself into a whole herd of different animals. Karolina has the rest of those photos so I can't share them just yet.

Watching these two was pretty entertaining. They really looked like they were dancing some sort of routine and every time they squaked or whatever it is they do the sound their bills made reminded of me of all those plastic animated toys with the clamping sound they make every time they move.

Oh, and they are Marabou Stork, in case you were wondering. Fitting for the Mother's Day theme the Zoo is working with for the month of May.

I couldn't help myself when this kid decided to shove his fist in the lion's mouth. He's lucky he didn't end up with nothing but a bloody stump when all was said and done.

Lucky Lemurs! They get heating lamps!

That sure is one big kitty!

And lazy too!

Ever wondered how a Tiger would get into a pool? Well, he backs in so he can test the tempertature with his toes - of course!!

Karolina got to pet a little Hedgehog - and so did I. Their little spines feel so weird.


Believe me, I have so many more photos. When I get them all added to Flickr I'll post the link.
