White

Zoo 092

Every time I visit the Nocturnal exhibit at the zoo I try to get a good picture of their rare white alligator. So far I have never succeeded. Mainly because it’s always almost pitch black. This month my photography club had the chance to go down and walk through the exhibits before the zoo opened, while all the lights were still on. I got my pictures. :)

Giraffes

I figured I needed to start this year off right, and what better subject for the very first post of the year on this blog than my favorite animal. :)

Since getting my zoo membership, I have so many pictures that I’ve taken at the zoo over the course of 2011. Some exhibits I ended up visiting more than others. A few places I only visited a couple times, (Sorry Jungle! I’ll see you Saturday!) but the one place I ALWAYS went to, without fail, was the giraffes.

No visit to the zoo would have been complete if I didn’t stop there, even for just a few minutes. Though it was never just a few :)

For this post I’ve gone back through all my pictures from the past year and tried to find a few of my favorite giraffe pictures that had yet to be published.

That wasn’t hard, they’re ALL my favorites. :)

Giraffes are the most beautiful animal in the world. No matter what kind of a weird face they happen to be making. :)
