“Blossom”

Taking pictures at the zoo is a great exercise. With hundreds or even thousands of animals, there are always moments to be captured.

Yesterday was a beautiful March day, so we as a family ventured to the Milwaukee County Zoo in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As we always do, we visited the Ape exhibit where they have several lowland gorillas on display.

Today was a special day as I caught a special moment with Baby Zahra sleeping on her mom, Naku. Six-month-old Zahra (Swahili for Blossom) was born September 9, 2017.

See my other zoo post from 2012 titled “Mandrill”, also from the ape exhibit.

The Lookout

“The Lookout”

Today we took a little trip to the Madison Children’s Museum in the shadows of the state capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. On the roof of the museum is the “Clubhouse” exhibit where they have a display of live animals. This rooster was keeping a lookout for visitors.

Two Chix

I was reviewing some of my photos that I took last year and ran upon this one, which I meant to blog about after I took it. Who says life happens the way you always want it to. Better late than never, This was taken at a farm in Door County, Wisconsin. These two chicks wandered away from the chicken coop and naturally I was the one chasing them down for a photo.
