Still one of my favorite Places

I’m taking a couple of days off to visit my favorite zoo in the country, the Columbus Zoo in Columbus Ohio. To show how much I love this zoo I live in Tennessee and I have a membership to a zoo in Ohio, I figure why not. They are busy this week putting up x-mas lights at the zoo and as I sit in the entrance at 3 a.m I can see the lights on in the zoo and wish I could get in before sunup and get some pics, it looks really cool. I spent the day yesterday wandering around the zoo watching everything and taking lots of pics, the Lions were chuffing and the Gibbons were howling and causing a ruckus. the babies are growing up too fast and the baby elephant is getting really big, my favorite baby gibbon is getting big too but still clings to his mom like a newborn. Today I’ll try for some pics of the Gorillas and Bonobos, and work on my pics for Sunday Stills. Yesterday was more of a scouting mission, recon if you will, to see how the cloudy grey skies will effect my pics for today and I found if I keep the sky out of the pics the cloudy conditions act as a difuser and there is not much glare. So as I wander around on day two I hope the quality of my pics will be better and I think I may work on some homosapien pics as well. I can’t wait for 9 a.m. when they open..:-))
Here is an updated pic of the baby Gibbon and his howling mommy…
