Shots at the Birmingham Zoo

I spent an hour or so yesterday at the Birmingham, AL zoo. Not a bad place to shoot, especially when most all of their animals are available for viewing. Yesterday was disappointing in that the primate house was near empty. Guess the gorillas, orangutans and apes were inside in the air-conditioning watching TV. Maybe another day!

Giraffes are great. I have been to Africa twice and I swear that giraffes love to be photographed. Every time we came upon them, either individually or in a group, they seemed to be posing. First they would give you one look and then they would turn and give you another. I don't recall any of them walking away as long as there was a camera pointed at them.

Great images, I want to go to our City Zoo as soon as Temps cool down, so more aniamals will be active and not hiding.

These are really beautiful shots, Paul! You sure made up for missing the monkies, etc! I especially love the giraffee shot; one of my favorite animals!

Thanks sailorsmom. Giraffes are my favorites also. They love to pose for the camera. I saw them in their natural habitat in Africa on two trips. As long as there was a camera out, they would not leave the area. Funny.
