Christmas at the Zoo!..seriously!

It has been such a lovely day!  First I went to the zoo.  Then got a waffle.  Then wandered up Madison Ave.  Then crossed Central Park.  It was cold but I survived!  Here as some photos from the day....

Isn't this guy cute!  He and his buddy's did tricks too!


Here's 2 of them behind the glass playing!


This is a snow leopard.  She heard something to hunt and was waiting to pounce on it.


Holiday lice picking!  Yummy!



The penguin habitat was dark.  Little guys were cute to watch.  I took some great arty pics of the blur of them swimming by...may share some soon...still thinking on how to work with them.



There was a tropical habitat at the zoo.  Since this is suppose to be an art blog now...I'll describe what happened with these next few photos.  I was outside in the cold semi dry air...walked into a hot humid habitat and the lens fogged up creating these cool misty looking images.  If this happens and you don't want it to be this way it is best to just wait until your camera adjusts to the weather and it will unfog.  I however found out there were snakes in this habit and got out of there before it had time to adjust.  I was also concerned that this would be too drastic of a change for my camera and didn't want it expanding and contracting too much in one day.  It seems to be ok.


 Oh ya, and did I mention it's cold.




Top layer of the lake was frozen.  Top layer of me was too!  I'm tough!

Well it's time for some Charlie Brown Christmas!  Merry Christmas!
