Thumbs up A Trip to the National Zoo in DC

Went to the Zoo not long ago and managed to get some very good pictures. Makes me wish I had a better camera when I took these, but I'm still rather proud of myself for them. Anyway, hope ya'll like them...
















i swear this looks like a head shot... but he was really just scratching the back of his head.
























the outdoor bird house...






this is the only good photo i got of this guy up close... he was very skittish and quick...


the peacocks didn't care... they got right up to me...








i was almost afraid she would peck my camera...

we missed the tigers. by the time we got to the big cats, they had already taken the tigers in for the day and for feeding. oh well.



big fish...


seriously... big fish...








this was a cool 3d digital globe they have there.








and this is one of my favorites of the day.


but this one takes the cake.... i really wish i had more zoom...






















but it was a fun day. didn't get to see everything, but I'm hoping to get back soon before it gets too cold out. Otherwise I'll have to wait till spring.

Hope you liked them!

I enjoyed them all, glad for the closeups showing details coloring and the like. THANKS!

Makes one think about how much life is passing them by when we should be enjoying these things in their natural habitat.
