A trip to the zoo

Alex and I took my neice to the zoo yesterday for her birthday. We had so much fun, and I got some amazing photos. I took a TON of them, and have so many favorites...here are a few to get started. More to come later :-)

Quito the Gorilla
He was quite the model...he kept moving to different locations and posing and looking up at us. Such a riot!
The funniest thing was when he went around the corner and hid in some brush. We waited a long time for him to come out, and he never would. Finally, I said "I see you, Come out come out wherever you are." And he came bolting out of the brush flipping and jumping and running along in front of us...it was WILD!
I know he knew what I said. I just know it! LOL

Oh, you want to photograph me?


Here, I'll pose by my log


And here, by the brush, that'll look good


Wait, I think this is my best side....


The serious portrait


The flamingos were cracking us up too...
Hey, where is everyone going?


Oh...the sparklies!!!


We went in the Lorikeet enclosure to feed the birds...








Alex was so excited to get one bird on his arm to feed....


And then another one showed up!!!
