Woodland Park Zoo and Rose Garden

I’m not currently at my computer, and may not be able to get to it before Friday is over, so I’ll make a quick post right now and then add to it tomorrow.  Thankfully, I had uploaded a few pictures earlier this week, so this post will not just be filled with boring ol’ words.  Last weekend I went to the zoo!  I love zoos.  They’re great.  Woodland Park Zoo is about five blocks away from my house and I’m a memeber, so I go fairly often.  However, this was my first visit since receiving my fancy new camera, and cute animals make excellent subjects photographs.  I also stopped by the rose garden, which is located next to the zoo to snap some photos of a few flowers.  The following are my favorites.

This is… a rose.  It’s quite amazing that I was able to capture such an elusive flower, especially in a rose garden.  I know that you’re impressed.  I really like this photograph because the darker background contrasts wonderfully with the bloom allowing the pink hues to radiate in a most please manner.

Here is a bee.  He was kind enough to take a break from his lunch in order to buzz around and provide me with a spiffy action shot.

Once inisde of the zoo there are animals that aren’t insects.  Like this one.  Kitty!  Ocelot, to be exact.  I think she’s looking at a big bug that was flying around in her exhibit.  And what a nice exhibit it is; the cement wall in the back is definitely modeled off of something that you’d find in her natural habitat.

Alright, I’ll grab more pictures to throw up here and improve this post later.  Promise.

See y’all soon.
