EL and I had a great day at the zoo... however, I must say first off: There were no rabbits. I was a little disappointed actually. It was about 90 degrees out and a beautiful day. The animals were quite cooperative (except for the big cats... who were mostly sleeping) during my photo frenzy. I was like the Japanese tourist extras in action films that always get pushed out the way in a street chase. There were a lot of people there with cameras for the new giraffe. Which I managed to get a few shots of...
I was having serious camera envy. There was this lady taking shots with my dream camera... the Canon
EOS-1Ds. If it were about $8000.00 cheaper, I'd have one of those today! My heart fluttered. Anyhoo, we weaved through the exhibits and had a lot of fun. I ended up taking about 87 shots and most of them were crap. I picked out a few of the better ones to stick on this post. I gotta run... hope everyone's weekend is going great thus far...

Never posted before. Found your journal a long time ago after trying a websearch for “Houston bloggers.” Been reading your stuff for a while now. Your writing is really excellent and a fun read.
We were at the Houston zoo on Saturday morning and I have a picture I snapped that looks like it should be the next frame after the frame you snapped of the giraffes.
Did you by any chance get a picture of the new baby giraffe? That little guy is so incredibly cute. He’s about 5’ tall right now. I have regular film of the little guy but nothing digital I can post.
Cheers to you and yours.
