The first guys we came across, the zebras! |
 |
Next, the ostriches! |
 |
I can't remember who these guys were. They were hanging out in
the same area as he zebras and ostriches. |
 |
And what zoo would be complete without a lion? |
 |
A family of camels. The male was being kept in a separate pen
with another female. I'm guessing they were trying to get them to
mate. |
 |
A couple of giraffes hiding in the trees. |
 |
One of the peacocks wandering around the grounds. |
 |
One of the male gorillas that was being kept outside (the rest were
kept inside a building). |
 |
The female, who was inside with the baby. Looking like she really
would rather be somewhere else. Can't say that I blame her. |
 |
Mother and baby. I think the baby was 7(?) months old. |
 |
Baby rolling around in front of mom, while another looks on. |
 |
Baby, hanging out by himself. |
| The whole reason for going to the zoo was to see a butterfly
exhibit, where you get to walk through an area filled with thousands of
butterflies. The rest of the pictures are from that area. The
camera I bought has a "macro" mode, to allow you to take close up photography,
so I was playing around with that a bit: |
 |
Butterfly number 1. |
 |
Butterfly number 2. |
 |
And number 3. |
 |
A pair of butterflies, doing what butterflies do in the springtime. |
 |
And another. |
 |
And finally, where do butterflies come from? |
