Lions

Hello Everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas Day! I've been getting a lot of rest and as I had hoped..doing nothing at times!

Here are some shots of lions from the Toronto Zoo, when Melissa and I were there in November. They were pretty laid back as you can see from the shots below...the last picture makes him look like he's growling at us, but he was just finishing his yawn and I kept clicking away! He did have reason to look so annoyed with us because we were making some noise to get his attention....It worked!

I'll have more shots of the other lion next time! We thought it was a female but a couple of people mentioned that he was a male too, just that his mane hadn't grown in!  Enjoy!

Happy New Year to everyone! Please enjoy and be safe!

Next post---in 2012!!

Merry Christmas!

I'd like to wish all the visitors to my little corner in cyberspace a VERY Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too! I hope you all get a chance to enjoy some time off!

That's what I'm looking forward to the most...time off from the daily grind! Get a chance to hang out and relax and do NOTHING if I want and of course, catch up on my sleep!

Anyway, whatever you'll be doing this holiday..ENJOY yourself and please be SAFE!

This week I'm adding some elephant shots. I didn't realize how hard these guys were to shoot until I was actually there trying to shoot them! I think because they are so BIG and then that long trunk doesn't help either! Anyway, I'm happy with these ones, so I thought I'd include them this week.

They made the CBC news this week as they are going to be moved to California in 2012 as the climate here is supposedly too cold for them..hopefully all will go well for them during the trip and they'll enjoy their new home...I am going to miss them though! :-(

 



The Cheetah!

Here are my favourite shots of the cheetah taken at the Toronto Zoo in November. He was just hanging out and watching a bunch of school kids. Enjoy!

Have a great week!

The Last of the Penguins....

Here are the last of the good Penguin shots that I took at the Toronto Zoo a month or so ago...I'm sure you are ready for a change, so next time I'll have some big cat pictures, or maybe elephants!

Have a great week!

Penguins Part 2

Hello Everyone!

Hope everyone had a great week! This week I'm adding MORE penguin shots...They are just too darn cute--and I took so darn many shots of them! :-)

This week, the shots include a couple of them walking to get into the water..hard to show how cute they walk, but nevertheless, I hope you like them. The rest are shots of them swimming with a couple of head shots.

Enjoy!
